Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they brought him on horses,.... That is, in a chariot or hearse drawn by horses; though the Jews h suppose he was carried on horses, and that because he worshipped the gods of the Edomites, who were themselves carried on horses; and he was not carried on the shoulders of men, because he neglected to serve the God of Israel, whose mysteries were carried on the shoulders of men:

and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David; and very probably in the sepulchre of the kings, though his father was not.

h Hieron. Trad. Heb. in lib. paralip. fol. 85. L.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They brought him on horses - i. e. they conveyed his body back to Jerusalem in the royal chariot. The combination of relentless animosity against the living prince with the deepest respect for his dead remains is very characteristic of an Oriental people.
