1 Kings 10:28: And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. [And Solomon...: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 17:16
This verse advises against the accumulation of horses for the king, warning of a return to Egypt. It contradicts with 2 Chronicles 1:16 where Solomon's importation of horses from Egypt is noted, implying disregard of this counsel.
Deuteronomy 17:16: But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

This verse issues a warning against relying on Egypt for help or resources, including horses. It contrasts with 2 Chronicles 1:16, where Solomon relies on Egypt for horses, suggesting misplaced trust.
Isaiah 31:1: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
