Yarn: Found only in
(1 Kings 10:28; 2 Chronicles 1:16) The Heb. word mikveh, i.e., "a
stringing together," so rendered, rather signifies a host, or
company, or a string of horses. The Authorized Version has: "And
Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's
merchants received the linen yarn at a price;" but the Revised
Version correctly renders: "And the horses which Solomon had were
brought out of Egypt; the king's merchants received them in droves,
each drove at a price."
