it still was likely more expensive than today in inflation adjusted terms. considering that at the time of King Solomon's reign the global economy was more fragmented than today, and information travelled at a much slower pace, it is also quite possible that cheap silver in Jerusalem didn't mean cheap silver elsewhere (besides, contrary to today, there was no paper/fiat money standard to measure it against - silver WAS money. so i actually think what this passage of the bible means is that Jerusalem became rich during King Solomon's reign).
