2 Chronicles 1:12-14

Living Bible

¹² yes, I am giving you the wisdom and knowledge you asked for! And I am also giving you riches, wealth, and honor such as no other king has ever had before you! And there will never again be so great a king in all the world!”

¹³ Solomon then left the Tabernacle, returned down the hill, and went back to Jerusalem to rule Israel. ¹⁴ He built up a huge force of 1,400 chariots and recruited 12,000 cavalry to guard the cities where the chariots were garaged, though some, of course, were stationed at Jerusalem near the king.
