17<\/strong>. and so brought they out<\/em> horses by their means<\/em> ] i.e. by means of Solomon’s merchants horses were exported for the kings of the Hittites and of Syria.<\/p>\n Verse 17<\/span>. A horse for a hundred and fifty<\/B><\/I>] Suppose we take the shekel at the utmost value at which it has been rated, three<\/I> shillings<\/I>; then the price of a horse was about twenty-two pounds<\/I> ten shillings<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> ON Solomon’s multiplying horses, Bishop Warburton<\/I> has made some judicious remarks: –<\/P> <\/P> “Moses had expressly prohibited the multiplying of horses<\/I>, De 17:16<\/span>, by which the future king was forbidden to establish a body of cavalry, because this could not be effected without sending into Egypt, with which people God had forbidden any communication, as this would be dangerous to religion. When Solomon had violated this law<\/I>, and multiplied horses to excess, 1Kg 4:26<\/span>, it was soon attended with those fatal consequences that the law foretold: for this wisest of kings having likewise, in violation of another<\/I> law, married Pharaoh’s daughter, (the early fruits of this commerce,) and then, by a repetition of the same crime, but a transgression of another<\/I> law, having espoused more strange women, 1Kg 11:1<\/span>; they first, in defiance of a fourth<\/I> law, persuaded him to build them idol temples for their<\/I> use<\/I>, and afterwards, against a fifth<\/I> law, brought him to erect other temples for his own<\/I>. Now the original of all this mischief was the forbidden traffic with Egypt for horses<\/I>; for thither were the agents of Solomon sent to mount his cavalry. Nay, this great king even turned factor for the neighbouring monarchs, 2Ch 1:17<\/span>, and this opprobrious commerce was kept up by his successors and attended with the same pernicious consequences. Isaiah denounces the mischiefs of this traffic; and foretells that one of the good effects of leaving it would be the forsaking of their idolatries, Isa 31:1<\/span>; Isa 31:4<\/span>; Isa 31:6-7<\/span>.” – See Divine Legation<\/I>, vol. iii., p. 289 and Dr. Dodd’s<\/I> Notes.<\/P> <\/p>\n 17. brought . . . for all the kingsof the Hittites<\/B>A branch of this powerful tribe, when expelledfrom Palestine, had settled north of Lebanon, where they acquiredlarge possessions contiguous to the Syrians.<\/P><\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ch 1:13]<\/span><\/p>\n (17) And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt.<\/strong>Literally, And they caused to come up and to come out.<\/em> Kings has: And there came up and came out a chariot from Egypt. The rest of the verse is identical there and here.<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I PASS over every other consideration in this chapter, to have my soul unceasingly fixed on thee, thou glorious Solomon, and the peaceable, happy reign of righteousness, which by thy coming to the throne of David thy father, thou, even thou, O blessed Jesus, hast brought in to the redemption of mankind! I cannot look on any other. I dare not take off my thoughts from the contemplation of Jesus! Thy word tells me, that in thee are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And to what other source shall I go, who am so poor and ignorant in myself, and need supply so continually, when all riches and honour are with thee, and there is none else that can cause my soul to inherit substance. Like the Solomon of whom I read in this chapter, I would say, Give me understanding and knowledge, that I may have that life eternal, which consisteth in the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ! Hath not God thy Father constituted thee King in Zion? Hath he not given all things into thine hand? Is not grace, mercy, life, and peace, treasured up in thee? And are not all the blessings thy redeemed can possibly need, in time or in eternity, found in thee? not simply as plenteous as the stones in Jerusalem, but inexhaustible, incalculable, unsearchable? Oh! then for faith to believe the record which God hath given of his dear Son! I would come to thee, blessed Jesus, for all I need. And I would come as one sure to obtain. For though thou hast all the treasures of heaven, and art the Almighty Treasurer, yet is it not for thyself, but for thy people. It hath pleased the Father, that in thee should all fulness dwell; that of thy fulness we might all receive, and grace for grace. Who so ready to give as Jesus! Who so needy as I! Pour out then, Lord, of thy fullness. I ask not the riches, the wealth, the honour of this vain world, but the wisdom that maketh wise unto salvation. I ask Jesus himself! Grant me thyself, O Lord, for in thee I have all things.<\/p>\n 2Ch 1:17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out [horses] for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.<\/p>\n Ver. 17.
