2 Chronicles 9:25-28
25Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in the cities of the chariots and with the king in Jerusalem. 26He ruled over all the kings from the River Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt. 27The king made the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he made like the sycamores that are in the Shephelah, in abundance. 28They were bringing out horses from Egypt for Solomon and from all the lands.
26And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in the cities for chariots and with the king in Jerusalem. 27And the king made silver in Jerusalem like stones, and cedars he made like the sycamores that are in the Shephelah, in abundance. 28And the source of the horses that belonged to Solomon was from Egypt and from Kue; the merchants of the king would take them from Kue at a price. 29And a chariot would come up and go out from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Aram, by their hand they would bring them out.
