For Solomon had a ship of Tharshish{gr.Tharsis} in the sea with the ships of Huram{gr.Chiram}: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharshish{gr.Tharsis}, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones. This was the arrangement of the provision which king Solomon fetched to build the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and the wall of Jerusalem, and the citadel; to fortify the city of David, and Asshur{gr.Assur}, and Magdal, and Gezer{gr.Gazer}, and Bethhoron{gr.Baethoron} the upper, and Jethermath, and all the cities of the chariots, and all the cities of the horsemen, and the fortification of Solomon which he purposed to build in Jerusalem and in all the land, so that none of the people should rule over him that was left of the Hittite{gr.Chettite} and the Amorite, and the Perizzite{gr.Pherezite}, and the Canaanite{gr.Chananite}, and the Hivite{gr.Evite}, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite{gr.Gergesite}, who were not of the children of Israel, their descendants who had been left with him in the land, whom the children of Israel could not utterly destroy; and Solomon made them tributaries until this day. But of the children of Israel Solomon made nothing; for they were the warriors, and his servants and rulers, and captains of the third order, and the captains of his chariots, and his horsemen. |

and fourº
hundredº
chariots,º

10:28 ¶
And Solomonº
had horsesº
broughtº
out of Egypt,ºº
and linen yarn:ºº
the king'sº
merchantsºº
receivedºº
the linen yarnºº
at a price.º |
|
10:29
And that which proceeded out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Hittites{gr.Chettians}, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea. |
10:29
And a chariotº
came upºº
and went outºº
of Egyptºº
for sixº
hundredº
