Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his horses and chariots, and he had 12,000 horses. He stationed some of them in the chariot cities, and some near him in Jerusalem.
Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots.Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands.
What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help, trusting their horses, chariots, and charioteers and depending on the strength of human armies instead of looking to the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
