 Yarn
    Found only in 1 Kings 10:28, 2 Chr. 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."
