2 Chronicles 1
1.The solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon
7.Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God
13.Solomon's forces and wealth














A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver
In the ancient Near East, Egypt was renowned for its chariots and horses, which were symbols of military power and prestige. The mention of "six hundred shekels of silver" indicates the high value and cost of these chariots, reflecting the wealth and trade relationships during Solomon's reign. This trade with Egypt highlights the political alliances and economic strategies that Solomon employed to strengthen his kingdom. The use of silver as currency underscores the economic systems in place during this period, where precious metals were standard for trade and commerce.

and a horse for a hundred and fifty
The price of "a hundred and fifty" shekels for a horse further illustrates the significant investment in military resources. Horses were essential for chariots, which were a crucial part of ancient warfare. This detail emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong military presence and the resources required to do so. The acquisition of horses from Egypt also suggests a reliance on foreign powers for military supplies, which could be seen as a strategic move to ensure the kingdom's security and dominance.

Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram
The exportation of chariots and horses to "the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram" indicates Solomon's role as a central figure in regional trade. The Hittites and Arameans were significant powers in the ancient Near East, and trade with them would have strengthened political alliances and economic ties. This exportation also demonstrates the extent of Solomon's influence and the prosperity of his kingdom, as he was able to act as a middleman in the trade of these valuable military assets. The mention of these specific groups highlights the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations and the complex diplomatic relationships that existed.

Teaching Points
Wisdom in Leadership
Solomon's trade decisions reflect his wisdom in expanding Israel's influence. However, leaders must balance wisdom with obedience to God's commands.

Dependence on God
While strategic alliances and resources are important, ultimate reliance should be on God, not on military might or economic power.

Ethical Trade Practices
Engaging in trade should be done ethically and in a way that honors God, avoiding exploitation or reliance on ungodly sources.

Influence and Responsibility
With increased influence comes greater responsibility to lead in a way that reflects God's values and priorities.

Warnings Against Materialism
Accumulating wealth and resources can lead to a false sense of security and distract from spiritual priorities.

What Does 2 Chronicles 1:17 Mean
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver

• Scripture records that “Solomon accumulated chariots and horses” (2 Chronicles 1:14), and here we learn the going price—about six hundred shekels per chariot.

• This shows real, measurable wealth. Six hundred shekels equaled roughly fifteen pounds of silver, underscoring the prosperity God granted Solomon in fulfillment of1 Kings 3:13.

• The detail also highlights extensive trade links with Egypt, mirroring1 Kings 10:28-29. While factual, that connection pokes at the warning inDeuteronomy 17:16 not to “multiply horses” or send people back to Egypt. Prosperity is a gift, yet it comes with potential spiritual drift if dependence shifts from the Lord to military assets (Psalm 20:7).

and a horse for a hundred and fifty

• A horse cost one-quarter the price of a chariot. The numbers read like an ancient price list, reminding us the text is historical, not mythical.

• Solomon’s stables (2 Chronicles 9:25;1 Kings 4:26) required thousands of horses, so the totals represented a sizeable treasury outlay and a visible sign of power.

• Yet God had said Israel’s king must “not acquire great numbers of horses” (Deuteronomy 17:16). The verse therefore hints at a slow slide from wholehearted trust in God to confidence in resources.Zechariah 9:10 later foretells a day when God “will cut off the chariot…and the warhorse,” restoring reliance on Him alone.

Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites

• Israel was not only buying; it was selling. Positioned along major trade routes, the nation became a regional arms broker. This recalls God’s promise inDeuteronomy 28:12 that obedience would make Israel the lending—not borrowing—nation.

• The “kings of the Hittites” likely refer to northern Syrian and Anatolian rulers (seeJoshua 1:4), people who had longstanding interactions with Israel. Commerce offered influence, yet it also meant military technology flowing outward. By2 Chronicles 8:7-8 Solomon was conscripting remnant peoples; now he is outfitting foreign kings, a move that could come back to haunt future generations (compare2 Kings 7:6, where God terrifies the Arameans with “the noise of chariots and horses”).

and to the kings of Aram

• Aram (Syria) would soon become a primary adversary (1 Kings 11:23-25;2 Chronicles 16:1). Ironically, Solomon’s trade may have strengthened the very armies that later attacked Israel.

• The line illustrates how material success can create unintended consequences. What seems like shrewd economics can sow seeds of future conflict when divorced from wholehearted obedience (Proverbs 14:12).

• Still, the chronicler includes the fact without embellishment, confirming both the blessing of God-given wisdom that drew international attention (1 Kings 10:24) and the creeping compromises that foreshadow Israel’s later troubles.

summary

2 Chronicles 1:17 is a snapshot of Solomon’s era, revealing literal prices, extensive trade, and God-granted prosperity. It affirms the accuracy of Scripture while quietly echoing Deuteronomy’s caution: trust must remain in the Lord, not in chariots, horses, or profitable alliances.

(17)And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt.--Literally,And they caused to come up and to come out. Kings has: "And there came up and came out a chariot from Egypt." The rest of the verse is identical there and here.

Verse 17. -Six hundred shekels of silver. Some add up in this amount the vehicle itself, harness, horse or horses necessary to it, and the expense ofcarriage of the whole. Whether or no horses are included may be doubtful. The amount added up reaches, according to various estimates, £90 or £70. If we take the silver shekel at 3s. 4d. according to one of the later authorities (Conder's 'Handbook to the Bible,' p. 81, 2nd edit.), the amount will be £100; and so for a horse £25.For all the kings of theHittites, and the kings of Syria; see2 Chronicles 8:7, 8;2 Chronicles 9:14, 23, 24, 26;1 Kings 4:21, 24;2 Kings 7:6; which last place in particular suggests that Solomon would be the more willing toassist neighbouring peoples in the purchase of horses, etc., who might be already tributary to him, or even vassals, or who might in future be in the better position to help him, when either required or hired to do so.
