So Solomon had more riches and wisdom than all the other kings on earth. People everywhere wanted to see King Solomon and listen to the wisdom God had given him. Every year those who came brought gifts of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. Solomon had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses. He kept some in special cities for the chariots, and others he kept with him in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem Solomon made silver as common as stones and cedar trees as common as the fig trees on the western hills. He imported horses from Egypt and Kue. His traders bought them in Kue. A chariot from Egypt cost about fifteen pounds of silver, and a horse cost nearly four pounds of silver. Solomon’s traders also sold horses and chariots to all the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.

The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.
