2 Chronicles 1:16-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁶Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from ^[a]Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them [in large numbers] from Kue ^[b]at a price. ¹⁷And they imported chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver apiece, and horses for 150 apiece; and in the same way they exported horses to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Arameans (Syrians).
