 * the sun.

 * house of the Lord.
   Throughout the East, the horse because of his swiftness and
   utility, was dedicated to the sun; and the Greeks and Romans
   feigned that the chariot of the sun was drawn by four horses,
   Pyrous, Eous, Aithon, and Phlegon:  and hence also chariots
   were dedicated to that luminary.  Jarchi says, that those who
   adored the sun had horses, which they mounted every morning,
   to go out to meet him at his rising.  The kings of Judah had
   imitated these idolatrous customs, and kept the horses of the
   sun even at the entrance of the temple of the Lord!

 * chamberlain.  or, eunuch, or officer.
