Solomon’s Wealth

¹⁴ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem like the stones. And he made cedar as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that were in the Shephelah. ¹⁶ And Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue. The traders of the king received them from Kue at a price. ¹⁷ They went up and exported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels. And these were likewise exported^[a] to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.^[b]
