1 Kings 10:27-29

Amplified Bible

²⁷The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as plentiful as the ^[a]sycamore trees that are in the lowland. ²⁸Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from ^[b]Kue, and the king’s merchants acquired them from Kue, for a price.^(A) ²⁹A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and in the same way they exported them, by the king’s merchants, to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram (Syria).
