And out of all lands - An addition to the words in Kings. The principal countries would no doubt be Arabia and Armenia - the former always famous for its excellent breed; the latter mentioned in Ezekiel Eze 27:14 as trading with horses in the fairs of Tyre.

unto the land of the Philistines
on 2 Chronicles 9:26-28
Solomon's reach runs from the river to the Philistine border and Egypt, silver made as common as stones, cedar as common as sycamore, and horses brought from Egypt and every land. In 1 Kings this same notice of horses from Egypt sits beside Deut 17:16's ban on a king multiplying horses and returning to Egypt for them, a juxtaposition the narrative then answers in chapter 11's fall. Chronicles carries the notice without the chapter that would give it a shadow, since the fall it would foreshadow is never told here.

they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt--(See on 2Ch 1:14). Solomon undoubtedly carried the Hebrew kingdom to its highest pitch of worldly glory. His completion of the grand work, the centralizing of the national worship at Jerusalem, whither the natives went up three times a year, has given his name a prominent place in the history of the ancient church.
