The Definition of the word Yarn

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."
