Commentary on 2 Kings 18:23

Theological / Devotional

Two thousand horses. The Assyrian envoy was endeavoring to ridicule Judah’s lack of military strength. The Assyrians had come up with a large force of cavalry, and 2,000 horses would mean nothing to them. They would be given to Judah if Judah on its part could provide that number of trained horsemen.
