2 Chronicles 9:24

22 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

23 All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.

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

25 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.

26 He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
