 * multiply horses.
   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.
