The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. ²⁹A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels^[+] of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.

²⁴Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. ²⁵The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.

¹⁴Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
