The accumulation of silver and gold signifies economic success but also suggests a potential reliance on wealth rather than on God. In biblical context, wealth is often seen as a blessing from God (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-18.htm">Deuteronomy 8:18</a>), but it can also lead to pride and idolatry (<a href="/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a>). The abundance of silver and gold may also reflect the influence of neighboring nations and their trade practices, which could lead to the adoption of foreign customs and gods.<p><b>with no limit to their treasures</b><br>The phrase indicates an abundance that seems boundless, suggesting a society that places great value on material possessions. This can be seen as a warning against the dangers of materialism and the false sense of security it provides. In the historical context, treasures were often stored in temples or palaces, symbolizing both wealth and power. The limitless treasures could also imply a neglect of spiritual wealth, as Jesus later teaches about storing treasures in heaven rather than on earth (<a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-21</a>).<p><b>their land is full of horses</b><br>Horses in ancient times were symbols of military strength and power. The presence of many horses suggests a focus on military might and self-reliance for protection and security. This reliance on horses and chariots is contrary to the biblical teaching that true security comes from trusting in God (<a href="/psalms/20-7.htm">Psalm 20:7</a>). The accumulation of horses was also explicitly warned against for kings in <a href="/deuteronomy/17-16.htm">Deuteronomy 17:16</a>, indicating a potential disobedience to God's commands.<p><b>with no limit to their chariots</b><br>Chariots were advanced military technology in the ancient Near East, representing a formidable force in battle. The phrase suggests an overemphasis on military preparedness and a potential arms race with surrounding nations. This reliance on chariots can be seen as a lack of faith in God's protection, as seen in the story of the Exodus where God triumphs over the chariots of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/14-23.htm">Exodus 14:23-28</a>). The abundance of chariots may also reflect a societal shift towards valuing power and dominance over justice and righteousness, which are central themes in the prophetic messages of Isaiah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name.

The words point to an earlier date than that at which Ahaz was left" naked and distressed" (<a href="/2_chronicles/28-19.htm" title="For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.">2Chronicles 28:19</a>). Even under Hezekiah, Sennacherib records in the inscription on the Taylor cylinder that the tribute paid by that king amounted to 30 talents of gold, and 800 talents of silver, besides wrought metal; and a like profusion of wealth, prior to Sennacherib's invasion, is shown in the account of Hezekiah's display of his treasures, in <a href="/isaiah/39-2.htm" title="And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.">Isaiah 39:2</a> (Cheyne, <span class= "ital">in loc.; Records of the Past, i.</span> 38).<p><span class= "bld">Their land is also full of . . . chariots.</span>--Here also the reign of Uzziah was like that of Solomon (<a href="/context/1_kings/10-26.htm" title="And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.">1Kings 10:26-28</a>). Chariots were used probably both for state pageants (<a href="/songs/1-9.htm" title="I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.">Song of Solomon 1:9</a>; <a href="/context/songs/3-9.htm" title="King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.">Song of Solomon 3:9-10</a>) and as part of the <span class= "ital">materiel </span>of war (<a href="/2_chronicles/1-14.htm" title="And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.">2Chronicles 1:14</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/9-25.htm" title="And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.">2Chronicles 9:25</a>). Isaiah here also agrees with Micah (<a href="/micah/1-13.htm" title="O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.">Micah 1:13</a>) in looking on this as "the beginning of sin" (see <a href="/deuteronomy/17-16.htm" title="But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: for as much as the LORD has said to you, You shall from now on return no more that way.">Deuteronomy 17:16</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/8-11.htm" title="And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.">1Samuel 8:11</a>).

The results of the commercial activity - not evil things in themselves, but probably acquired by sharp dealing, and leading to undue softness and luxury. The Law had given a warning against "greatly multiplying silver and gold" (<a href="/deuteronomy/17-17.htm">Deuteronomy 17:17</a>). For the fact of the vast abundance of the precious metals in Judaea at this time, see <a href="/2_kings/14-16.htm">2 Kings 14:16</a>; <a href="/2_kings/20-13.htm">2 Kings 20:13</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/32-27.htm">2 Chronicles 32:27</a>; and compare Sennacherib's inscription on the Taylor Cylinder ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. it. p. 163, 2nd edit.). <span class="cmt_word">Full of horses... chariots</span> (comp. <a href="/micah/5-10.htm">Micah 5:10</a>). There is no reason to believe that the Jews or Israelites ever possessed (unless it were under Solomon) any considerable cavalry or chariot force. But from the time of David horses and chariots were imported for convenience and for show by the kings, the princes, and the nobles (see <a href="/2_samuel/15-1.htm">2 Samuel 15:1</a>; <a href="/1_kings/4-26.htm">1 Kings 4:26</a>; <a href="/1_kings/10-28.htm">1 Kings 10:28, 29</a>; <a href="/1_kings/22-31.htm">1 Kings 22:31</a>; <a href="/ecclesiastes/10-7.htm">Ecclesiastes 10:7</a>).
