Context — Solomon’s Riches
12therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills. 16Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.Cross References

2 Chronicles 1:14 Summary
This verse tells us that Solomon, the king of Israel, had a large army with many chariots and horses, which he used to protect his kingdom and show his wealth and power. This was a way for him to establish his authority and secure his position as king, as seen in other Bible verses like Deuteronomy 17:16. Just like Solomon, we need to be wise and strategic in our own lives, using the resources and abilities God has given us to serve Him and build up His kingdom (as seen in Matthew 25:14-30). By trusting in God's provision and sovereignty, we can find true strength and security, as promised in Psalm 37:3-7.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Solomon accumulate so many chariots and horses?
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses to establish his military strength and secure his kingdom, as seen in 2 Chronicles 1:14, which was a common practice among ancient kings, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 17:16.
What were the chariot cities and what was their significance?
The chariot cities were strategic locations where Solomon stationed his chariots and horses, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 1:14, and they played a crucial role in maintaining his military power and control over his kingdom, similar to the way King David had established his military strongholds, as seen in 1 Chronicles 18:13.
How did Solomon's wealth and military power compare to other kings?
Solomon's wealth and military power were unparalleled among the kings of his time, as stated in 2 Chronicles 1:12, where God promises to give him riches and wealth unlike anything given to the kings before or after him, a promise that is also reflected in 1 Kings 3:13.
What can we learn from Solomon's actions in this verse?
We can learn that true wisdom and leadership involve not only spiritual guidance but also practical wisdom and strategic planning, as seen in Solomon's actions in 2 Chronicles 1:14, which is in line with the teachings of Proverbs 24:3-4, where wisdom and knowledge are essential for establishing a strong and prosperous kingdom.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to establish strength and security, and how can I apply the principles of wise planning and strategic decision-making to achieve my goals?
- How can I balance my desire for wealth and power with the need to trust in God's provision and sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7?
- What are some ways I can use my resources and abilities to serve others and build up the kingdom of God, as encouraged in Matthew 25:14-30?
- How can I prioritize my relationship with God and seek His wisdom and guidance in all aspects of my life, as Solomon did in 1 Kings 3:5-15?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 1:14
[See comments on 2 Chronicles 1:13]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 1:14
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:14
Of this and the three following verses, See Poole "", &c.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:14
2 Chronicles 1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.Ver. 14. And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen.] This is here added to show how God made good to Solomon that other part of his promise also concerning riches and honours. And here the lawgiver might dispense with that law of his, by a singular privilege to this king of Israel. See on 1 Kings 4:26.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:14
(14-17) Solomon’s “riches, and wealth, and honour” illustrated (comp. 1 Kings 10:26-29). In the parallel passage of Kings, this short section closes the account of Solomon’s wealth and glory. 2 Chronicles 9:25-28 is very similar; a fact which will not surprise those who bear in mind that the chronicler is careless of repetition.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:14
Verse 14. He had a thousand and four hundred chariots] For these numbers, see the notes on 1Kg 4:26.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 1:14
