The many frontier towns, walled cities, forts, garrisons, and other provisions against enemies invasions, which prudent Kings have in all ages been wont to make, do manifest their care in keeping enemies from entering among their people. Solomon, though he were a Prince of peace, yet wisely to prevent the worst, fBuilt cities fenced with walls, gates, and bars. And ghe had four thousand stalls of horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the chariot-cities, that upon all occasions they might be ready to go out against enemies. Though Rehoboam manifested much folly in rejecting the counsel of his fathers sage counsellors, yet he showed more after-wit and wisdom hin building fenced cities in Judah and Benjamin, and fortifying strong holds, and putting captains in them, and store of victual, and shields, and spears. The like is recorded of iAsa, kJehoshaphat, lUzziah, mJotham, nHezekiah, oManasseh after his repentance, and others.
