Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 2:7
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
7. gold —forbidden to be heaped together ( Deuteronomy 17:17 ). Solomon disobeyed ( 1 Kings 10:21 ; 1 Kings 10:27 ). horses . . . chariots —forbidden ( 1 Kings 10:27- : ). But Solomon disobeyed ( 1 Kings 10:27- : ). Horses could be used effectively for war in the plains of Egypt; not so in the hilly Judea. God designed there should be as wide as possible a distinction between Israel and the Egyptians. He would have His people wholly dependent on Him, rather than on the ordinary means of warfare ( 1 Kings 10:27- : ). Also horses were connected with idolatry ( 1 Kings 10:27- : ); hence His objection: so the transition to "idols" ( Isaiah 2:8 ) is natural. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
