Parallel

1 Kings 10:29

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

And that which proceeded out of 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 Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver (note: 600 shekels is approximately 15.1 pounds or 6.8 kilograms of silver.), and a horse for a hundred and fifty (note: 150 shekels is approximately 3.8 pounds or 1.7 kilograms of silver.). Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
