4:26 4,000 stalls: The number 4,000 reflects the parallel text in 2 Chr 9:25, a suitable number for Solomon’s 1,400 chariots (1 Kgs 10:26; 2 Chr 1:14). • 12,000 horses: The Hebrew can be translated as “horsemen” (Exod 15:19-21) or “horses” (Joel 2:4). To be prepared for battles, Solomon built towns to accommodate his forces (1 Kgs 9:19).
