Supposing that ten were put together in one part, this wouldmake forty thousand. According to this theory of explanation, thehistorian in Kings refers to horses [see <span class='bible'>1Ki10:26<\/span>]; while the historian in Chronicles speaks of the stalls inwhich they were kept. But more recent critics reject this mode ofsolving the difficulty, and, regarding the four thousand stalls as inkeeping with the general magnificence of Solomon&#8217;s establishments,are agreed in considering the text in Kings as corrupt, through theerror of some copyist.<\/P><\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Jamieson, Fausset and Brown&#8217;s Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible <\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span class='bible'>[See comments on 1Ki 10:26]<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: John Gill&#8217;s Exposition of the Entire Bible<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span class='bible'>2Ch 9:25<\/span> does not correspond to the passage <span class='bible'>1Ki 10:26<\/span>, but in contents and language agrees with <span class='bible'>1Ki 5:6<\/span>, and <span class='bible'>2Ch 9:26<\/span> with <span class='bible'>1Ki 5:1<\/span>.
