Talmud sobre I Reyes 5:6
וַיְהִ֣י לִשְׁלֹמֹ֗ה אַרְבָּעִ֥ים אֶ֛לֶף אֻרְוֺ֥ת סוּסִ֖ים לְמֶרְכָּב֑וֹ וּשְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֥ר אֶ֖לֶף פָּרָשִֽׁים׃
Manda pues ahora que me corten cedros del Líbano; y mis siervos estarán con los tuyos, y yo te daré por tus siervos el salario que tú dijeres: porque tú sabes bien que ninguno hay entre nosotros que sepa labrar la madera como los Sidonios.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
He shall not add horses, and it is written: Solomon had 40’000 horse stables for his chariot, and 12’000 riders1871K. 5.6.. They were idle188If all of the chariots and horses had been for military purposes, it would not have been sinful. A Genizah fragment inserts a rhetorical question. Were the 40’000 stables not adequate since it also is written (1K. 4:20) that Israel were many, like the sand at the seashore? The answer is that the horses and carriages were sinful since the riders were idle most of the time.. A private person is permitted all of these189Wives, horses, and money are limited only for a king..
