2 Chronicles 1:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ In Jerusalem, Solomon gathered much silver and gold. He got so much it was as common as rocks. He also gathered much cedar wood. It became as plentiful as the sycamore trees on the western mountain slopes. ¹⁶ Solomon imported horses from Egypt and Kue. The king’s traders bought the horses in Kue. ¹⁷ They imported a chariot from Egypt for about 15 pounds of silver. And they imported a horse for nearly 4 pounds of silver. Then they sold the horses and chariots to all the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
