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.
