What does the Bible say about chariot?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible presents chariots chiefly as instruments of war and earthly power, yet repeatedly shows that the Lord is not overcome by the strongest armies and calls his people to trust him rather than military might. Pharaoh’s chosen chariots pursued Israel at the Red Sea, but God hindered them and delivered his people in Exodus 14:7, 14:9, and 14:25. Israel’s enemies often came with vast numbers of horses and chariots, as in Joshua 11:4 and 1 Samuel 13:5, while powerful kings such as Ben-hadad and Shishak relied on them in 1 Kings 20:1 and 2 Chronicles 12:2-3. Even surrounded by chariots in 2 Kings 6:14, God’s servants were secure under his greater protection.
