15 In Jerusalem Solomon gathered so much gold and silver that it was as common as rocks. He gathered so much cedar wood that it was as common as sycamore trees in the western hill country. 16 Solomon imported horses from Egypt and Kue.[a] His merchants bought the horses in Kue for a set price. 17 They also bought chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels[b] of silver each and horses for 150 shekels[c] of silver each. They then sold the horses and chariots to the kings of the Hittites and Arameans.
