1 Kings 10:27 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 10:27

25 Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.

26 ^aAnd Solomon ^bgathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he¹ stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

27 ^aThe king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

28 ^aAlso Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king’s merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price.

29 Now a chariot that was imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; ^aand thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
