23And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
24And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.
26And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
27And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
28And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
29A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
