1 Reyes 10:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:26

And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen
Both for war; for though it was a time of peace, he provided against the worst, lest an enemy should come upon him suddenly, and when unprepared:

and he had one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen; of the latter (See Gill on 1 Kings 4:26)

whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at
Jerusalem;
some of the horsemen were quartered in the cities where the chariots were placed, and some of them in Jerusalem, to be near the king's person, and to be a guard to him on occasion. Josephus F6 says, half of them were in Jerusalem about the king, and the rest were dispersed through the king's villages.

1 Reyes 10:26 In-Context

24 Y toda la tierra procuraba ver a Salom贸n, para o铆r la sabidur铆a que Dios hab铆a puesto en su coraz贸n.
25 Cada uno de ellos tra铆a su presente: objetos de plata y objetos de oro, vestidos, armas, especias, caballos y mulos; y as铆 a帽o tras a帽o.
26 Salom贸n reuni贸 carros y hombres de a caballo; y ten铆a mil cuatrocientos carros y doce mil hombres de a caballo, y los situ贸 en las ciudades de carros y en Jerusal茅n, junto al rey.
27 El rey hizo la plata tan com煤n en Jerusal茅n como las piedras, e hizo los cedros tan abundantes como los sic贸moros que est谩n en el llano .
28 Los caballos de Salom贸n eran importados de Egipto y de Coa, y los mercaderes del rey los adquir铆an de Coa por cierto precio.
