Easton's Bible Dictionary
Found only in 1
Kings 10:28 , 2
Chronicles 1:16. The Hebrew 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."

Smith's Bible Dictionary
The notice of yarn is contained in an extremely obscure
passage in ( 1
Kings 10:28 , 2
Chronicles 1:16 ) The Hebrew Received Text is questionable. Gesenius gives
the sense of "number" as applying equally to the merchants and the horses: "A
band of the kings merchants bought a drove (of horses) at a price."
