1 Kings 10:27-29
New Life Version
27 The king made silver as easy to find as stones in Jerusalem. He made cedar trees as easy to find as the sycamore trees of the valley. 28 Solomon had horses brought from Egypt and Kue. The king’s traders bought them from Kue, each for a price. 29 A war-wagon could be brought from Egypt for 600 pieces of silver, and a horse for 150 pieces of silver. They got them in the same way for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
