[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

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."
