2 Chronicles 1:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ During Solomon’s reign, silver and gold were as plentiful in Jerusalem as rocks on the road! And expensive cedar lumber was used like common sycamore! ¹⁶ Solomon sent horse traders to Egypt to purchase entire herds at wholesale prices. ¹⁷ At that time Egyptian chariots sold for $400 each and horses for $100, delivered at Jerusalem. Many of these were then resold to the kings of the Hittites and Syria.
