He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 And the king made ^ysilver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the ^zsycamore of the Shephelah. 16 And Solomon’s import of ^ahorses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king’s traders would buy them from Kue for a price. 17 They imported a chariot from Egypt for 600 shekels¹ of silver, and a horse for 150. Likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
