Solomon’s Military and Commercial Activity

14 1 Kings 4.26; 10.26–29; 2 Chr 9.25 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.

151 Kings 10.27; 2 Chr 9.27The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamores of the Shephelah.

161 Kings 10.28, 29; 2 Chr 9.28Solomon’s import of horses was from Egypt and Kue; the king’s traders received them from Kue at the prevailing price.

17They imported from Egypt (and then exported) a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty, so through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
