24And 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 for transport, regularly year by year.
25Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
26And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
27The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
28They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
30Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
