2 Chronicles 1:14-17

English Standard Version

Solomon Given Wealth

^14 (A)Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. ^(B)He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed ^(C)in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. ¹⁶ And Solomon's import of horses 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 shekels^[a] 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.
