2 Chronicles 9:26

EgyptEuphrates

24 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.

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

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 from all the lands.
