The Book of 1 Kings says that Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. The Bible also tells us that the kings of Judah kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun god kept in the Temple until they were eventually removed by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11). So, if the Temple was really built by Solomon, he might have started the practice of keeping the horses and chariot for the sun god.

A king should not have many horses. Horses were a source of power, especially in wartime.

God wanted the kings to depend on His strength and power, not that of His creation.
