2 Chronicles 9:25 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. — See 1 Kings 4:26 (where the number of stalls is erroneously stated at 40,000).

The remainder of the verse coincides with 1 Kings 10:26.

Having already given an account of Solomon’s chariots and horses, and his importation of the latter from Egypt, in 2 Chronicles 1:14-17, an account which is identical with 1 Kings 10:26-29, the chronicler naturally avoids mere repetition of that passage in 2 Chronicles 9:25-28.

2 Chronicles 9:25

25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
