All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

Every one of them brought a present, objects of silver and gold, garments, weaponry, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.
25
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah.
