He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

Psalms 46:9 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Maketh wars to cease. The Hebrew form denotes continued action.

Chariot. Heb. ‘agaloth, not the usual word for war chariots. It signifies rather “wagons,” “transport wagons” (see Gen. 45:19; 46:5; 1 Sam. 6:7).

The verse presents a picture of a battlefield strewn with broken weapons and burned vehicles. The victory is complete.
