Gill's Notes on the Bible
They took therefore two chariot horses,.... Not five, but two only, and those the best, that drew in the king's chariot perhaps, and so were better fed, and fitter for this expedition:
and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, go and see; whether they are fled or not.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Two chariot horses - Translate, âtwo horse-chariots.â They dispatched i. e. two war-chariots, with their proper complement of horses and men, to see whether the retreat was a reality or only a feint. The âhorsesâ sent would be four or six, since chariots were drawn by either two or three horses.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 7:14. They took - two chariot horses — They had at first intended to send five; probably they found on examination that only two were effective. But if they sent two chariots, each would have two horses, and probably a single horse for crossing the country.
