From:

Chariot
a
vehicle
generally
used
for
warlike
purposes
.
Sometimes
,
though
but
rarely
,
it
is
spoken
of
as
used
for
peaceful
purposes
.
The
first
mention
of
the
chariot
is
when
Joseph
,
as
a
mark
of
distinction
,
was
placed
in
Pharaoh's
second
state
chariot
(
Gen
.
41:43);
and
the
next
,
when
he
went
out
in
his
own
chariot
to
meet
his
father
Jacob
(46:29).
Chariots
formed
part
of
the
funeral
procession
of
Jacob
(50:9).
When
Pharaoh
pursued
the
Israelites
he
took
600
war-chariots
with
him
(
Ex
. 14:7).
The
Canaanites
in
the
valleys
of
Palestine
had
chariots
of
iron
(
Josh
. 17:18;
Judg
. 1:19).
Jabin
,
the
king
of
Canaan
,
had
900
chariots
(
Judg
. 4:3);
and
in
Saul's
time
the
Philistines
had
30,000.
In
his
wars
with
the
king
of
Zobah
and
with
the
Syrians
,
David
took
many
chariots
among
the
spoils
(2
Sam
. 8:4; 10:18).
Solomon
maintained
as
part
of
his
army
1,400
chariots
(1
Kings
10:26),
which
were
chiefly
imported
from
Egypt
(29).
From
this
time
forward
they
formed
part
of
the
armies
of
Israel
(1
Kings
22:34; 2
Kings
9:16, 21; 13:7, 14; 18:24; 23:30).
In
the
New
Testament
we
have
only
one
historical
reference
to
the
use
of
chariots
,
in
the
case
of
the
Ethiopian
eunuch
(
Acts
.
8:28, 29, 38).
This
word
is
sometimes
used
figuratively
for
hosts
(
Ps
. 68:17;
2
Kings
6:17).
Elijah
,
by
his
prayers
and
his
counsel
,
was
"
the
chariot
of
Israel
,
and
the
horsemen
thereof
."
The
rapid
agency
of
God
in
the
phenomena
of
nature
is
also
spoken
of
under
the
similitude
of
a
chariot
(
Ps
. 104:3;
Isa
. 66:15;
Hab
. 3:8).
Chariot
of
the
cherubim
(1
Chr
. 28:18),
the
chariot
formed
by
the
two
cherubs
on
the
mercy-seat
on
which
the
Lord
rides
.
Chariot
cities
were
set
apart
for
storing
the
war-chariots
in
time
of
peace
(2
Chr
. 1:14).
Chariot
horses
were
such
as
were
peculiarly
fitted
for
service
in
chariots
(2
Kings
7:14).
Chariots
of
war
are
described
in
Ex
. 14:7; 1
Sam
. 13:5; 2
Sam
.
8:4; 1
Chr
. 18:4;
Josh
. 11:4;
Judg
. 4:3, 13.
They
were
not
used
by
the
Israelites
till
the
time
of
David
.
Elijah
was
translated
in
a
"
chariot
of
fire
" (2
Kings
2:11).
Comp
. 2
Kings
6:17.
This
vision
would
be
to
Elisha
a
source
of
strength
and
encouragement
,
for
now
he
could
say
, "
They
that
be
with
us
are
more
than
they
that
be
with
them
."
