2 Chronicles 1:14-17

International Standard Version

¹⁴Solomon amassed both chariots and horsemen: he owned 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, stationing them in armories^[a] and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and made cedar^[b] trees as plentiful as sycamore^[c] trees that grow in the Shephelah.^[d] ¹⁶Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue; the king’s procurement officials obtained them from Kue at great^[e] price. ¹⁷Chariots were imported from Egypt for 600 shekels^[f] each, and horses cost 150 shekels^[g] each, and then they exported them to all of the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
