24. And kol Ha'Aretz sought the face of Sh'lomo, to hear his chochmah, which Elohim had put in his lev.
25. They brought every ish his minchah, vessels of kesef, vessels of zahav, and robes, and weapons, and spices, susim, and peradim (mules), yearly at each year's due.
26. And Sh'lomo gathered together merkavot and parashim; and he had a thousand and four hundred merkavot, and twelve thousand parashim, whom he kept in his chariot cities and with HaMelech in Yerushalayim.
27. And HaMelech made kesef to be in Yerushalayim like avanim (rocks), and cedars made he to be like sycamores in the Shefelah, for abundance.
28. And Sh'lomo had susim brought out of Mitzrayim, and from Keveh; HaMelech's agents acquired from Kevah at a price.
29. And a merkavah (chariot) went out of Mitzrayim for six hundred pieces of kesef, and a sus for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the melachim of the Chittim (Hittites), and for the melachim of Aram, did they [HaMelech's agents] export them by the same means.
