Context — Solomon’s Wealth and Splendor
24The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills. 28Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.Cross References

1 Kings 10:26 Summary
This verse tells us that Solomon, the king of Israel, had a huge army with many chariots and horses, which showed how rich and powerful he was. However, as we see in Deuteronomy 17:16, God had warned the kings of Israel not to accumulate many horses, especially from Egypt. This reminds us that true strength and security come from God, not from our own wealth or military power, as mentioned in Psalms 20:7. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves if we are trusting in God's power and provision, or if we are relying on our own strength and resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses?
This indicates Solomon's great wealth and power, as chariots and horses were symbols of military strength and prosperity in ancient times, as seen in Deuteronomy 17:16 and Psalms 20:7.
Why did Solomon station his chariots and horses in the chariot cities and Jerusalem?
This was likely for strategic military purposes, as well as to display his wealth and power, much like the kings of other nations, as mentioned in Isaiah 31:1-3.
Is it significant that Solomon had so many horses, given the warning in Deuteronomy 17:16?
Yes, it is significant, as Deuteronomy 17:16 warns against accumulating many horses, specifically from Egypt, which is mentioned in 1 Kings 10:28 as a source of Solomon's horses, highlighting a potential area of disobedience for Solomon.
How does this verse relate to the overall theme of Solomon's reign?
This verse showcases Solomon's wealth and power, which is a recurring theme throughout 1 Kings, and serves as a backdrop for the wisdom and fame that God had given him, as mentioned in 1 Kings 10:24.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about Solomon's priorities and values, and how can I apply this to my own life?
- How can I balance the desire for wealth and success with the warning against trusting in horses and chariots, as mentioned in Psalms 20:7?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be relying on my own strength and wealth, rather than trusting in God, and how can I surrender these to Him?
- In what ways can I use the resources and blessings God has given me to glorify Him and advance His kingdom, rather than simply accumulating wealth and power?
Gill's Exposition on 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
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:26
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; like a wise prince, in deep peace providing for war. A thousand and four hundred chariots: See Poole "".
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:26
1 Kings 10:26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.Ver. 26. And Solomon gathered.] This he did contrary to the law, wherefore also he and his family soon after suffered a change: Gloria enim eius mox facta est ingloria, et fama infamia, ac opulentia paupertas. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:26
(26) Gathered together chariots.—See above, 1 Kings 4:26. This gathering of chariots—the sign of military conquest and extended empire—is evidently noticed here in connection with the growth of commerce and wealth, as one of the powers which held Solomon’s kingdom together. Josephus (Ant. viii. 7, 4), in mentioning them, gives a vivid description of the use of these chariots and horsemen for progresses of royal magnificence and pleasure. But their chief use was. no doubt, military. The “chariot cities” would be the fortified posts, in the various parts of Solomon’s own dominions and in the tributary countries.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:26
Verse 26. He had a thousand and four hundred chariots] 1Kg 4:26.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 10:26
26. And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen] By reason, as Josephus tells us, of the great number of horses which were brought to him in these yearly offerings. The word τψωׁ (parash) here rendered ‘horsemen’ means both the horse for riding and the rider. Just as we speak of so many hundred ‘horse’. ρερ (sus) on the other hand was the draught horse. Here we find the first institution of cavalry in Israel in defiance of the Deuteronomic law. If this book was compiled after Deuteronomy was written we should expect some reference to this violation. There is such a reference about another matter in 1 Kings 11:2. a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen] The LXX. gives for the first clause ‘four thousand mares for his chariots,’ which agrees as far as the number is concerned with 2 Chronicles 9:25, ‘four thousand stalls for horses and chariots’: though in 2 Chronicles 1:14 we have precisely the same number both of chariots and horsemen specified as is given here. at Jerusalem] After this the LXX. adds ‘and he was chief over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines and to the borders of Egypt.’
Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 10:26
See 1 Kings 4:26 note. Until the time of Solomon, war-chariots had not been in use among the Jews, except to a very small extent 1 Chronicles 18:4.
