Heb. the going forth of the horses which wasSolomon's.
2 Chron. 9:28• 28And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands. (2 Chron. 9:28)
;
1 Kings 10:28‑29• 28And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
 29And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means. (1 Kings 10:28‑29)
linen yarn.The word [miqvê ,] or [miqvêh ,] {mikweh,} is regarded by the ancient translators as a proper name:
the LXX. have [ek Thekoue,] "from Tekoa," the Vulgate, {de Coa,} "from Koa," which is adopted by Dr. Geddes; the Syriac, "from the city Aphelia;" and the Arabic, "{ex urbe Australium.}"
Bochart thinks it signifies a tribute; others suppose that it signifies a string or drove of horses, or as Jarchi says, what the Germans call {Stutte,} a stud; but Houbigant supposes it to be a corruption for {mercavah,} "chariots."
Our English translation, however, which regards it as synonymous with {tikwah,} seems by far the best.
According to Norden, linen yarn is still one of the principal articles of commerce in Egypt, and is exported in very large quantities, together with unmanufactured flax and spun cotton; and Sanutus, 400 years ago, remarked that though Christian countries abounded in flax, yet the goodness of the Egyptian was such, that it was dispersed even to the west.

And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king’s merchants fetched a drove of horses, at a price.
