23
And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
24
They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses and mules, so much year by year.
25
Now Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
26
He was the ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates River even to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt.
27
The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
