And all the earth sought to see the face of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25
And they each one brought his presents each year, vessels of gold and vessels of silver and garments and arms and spices, horses, and mules.
26
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he put in the cities of the chariots and with the king at Jerusalem.
27
And the king made silver
to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars
to be as the sycamore trees that
are in the vale, for abundance.
28
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt and linen yarn, for the king’s merchants bought the horses and yarn.
29
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred
shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so by their hand they supplied all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
