23
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24
They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27
The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28
They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
