Yarn. 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 king's merchants bought a drove (of horses) at a price."
