1 Kings 10:27-29

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁷ The king made Israel very rich. In the city of Jerusalem, silver was as common as rocks and cedar wood was as common as the many fig trees growing on the hills. ²⁸ Solomon brought horses from Egypt and Kue. His traders bought them in Kue and brought them to Israel. ²⁹ A chariot from Egypt cost about 15 pounds of silver, and a horse cost almost 4 pounds^[a] of silver. Solomon sold horses and chariots to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
