     * the sun.
     # 5; 2Ch 14:5; 34:4; Eze 8:16|
     * 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.
