Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Some (trust) in chariots - rather, omit "trust," which is not in the Hebrew, and make the same verb govern all the nouns in the sentence-`Some remember (i:e., glory in the remembrance of) chariots, and some remember horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.' God had forbidden the use of war-chariots and horses to His people, lest they should trust in them, rather than in Yahweh: such arms of flesh were the arms of the Gentile world; the covenant people were to rely on a far more mighty arm (Joshua 17:16; 2 Chronicles 32:8). So David met Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:45); Solomon (1 Kings 10:26) in this disobeyed God (Deuteronomy 17:16). The people's prayer that God should "remember" all the offerings of their king (Psalms 20:3) beautifully corresponds to their resolution, "We will remember the name of the Lord."
