24. And all the earth desired to see Solomon's face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.
25. And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
26. And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
27. And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
28. And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king's merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
