They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans. (1 Kings 10:29 NIV)
In 1 Kings, chapter 11, Solomon is judged for his multiple marriages and resultant involvement with foreign deities. No good comes from that. But nothing good comes from the arms trade described in the verse of scripture above, either. I wonder if, by exporting chariots and horses, he is arming the enemies of his royal line.
