10. cut off thy horses . . . chariots —namely, those used for the purposes of war. Israel had been forbidden the use of cavalry, or to go to Egypt for horses ( :- ), lest they should trust in worldly forces, rather than in God ( Psalms 20:7 ). Solomon had disregarded this command ( 1 Kings 10:26 ; 1 Kings 10:28 ). Hereafter, saith God, I will remove these impediments to the free course of My grace: horses, chariots, c., on which ye trust. The Church will never be safe, till she is stripped of all creature trusts, and rests on Jehovah alone [CALVIN]. The universal peace given by God shall cause warlike instruments to be needless. He will cut them off from Israel ( 1 Kings 10:28- : ) as she will cut them off from Babylon, the representative of the nations ( Jeremiah 50:37 ; Jeremiah 51:21 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
