1 Kings 10:26

SolomonJerusalem

24 The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.

25 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.

Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.

27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.

28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
