Solomon’s Wealth

14 (A)Solomon amassed chariots and horsemen. (B)He had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in (C)the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 (D)The king made (E)silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamores in the [a]lowland. 16 Solomon’s (F)horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue; the king’s traders acquired them from Kue for a price. 17 They [b]imported chariots from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver apiece, horses for 150 apiece, and [c]by the same means they [d]exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
