1 Kings 10:27-29
Amplified Bible
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as plentiful as the [a]sycamore trees that are in the lowland. 28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from [b]Kue, and the king’s merchants acquired them from Kue, for a price.(A) 29 A 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).
