2 Chronicles 1:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Solomon’s Military and Commercial Activity

¹⁴ Solomon gathered together chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. ¹⁶ Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the king’s traders received them from Kue at the prevailing price.
