2 Chronicles 1:14-17
14Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in the cities of the chariots and with the king in Jerusalem. 15The king made the silver and the gold in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he made like the sycamores that are in the Shephelah, in abundance. 16The source of the horses that Solomon had was from Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants would take them from Kue at a price. 17They would go up and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram, by their hand they would bring them out.
