multiply horses10 parallels
Multiplying horses for chariots of war and cavalry , or for luxury , would increase the splendour of a monarch , and form a ground of confidence distinct from a proper confidence in God , and inconsistent with it , and with considering him as the glory of Israel. Egypt abounded in horses; and the desire of multiplying these would induce the prince to encourage a trade with that kingdom; and this might make way for the Israelites being again subjugated by the Egyptians , or at least corrupted by their idolatries and vices. Whereas , it was the command of God that they should no more return thither , but be totally detached from them. Besides , they might be tempted to extend their dominion by means of cavalry , and so get scattered among the surrounding idolatrous nations , and thus cease to be that distinct , separate people , which God intended they should be
