Deuteronomy 17:16

Deu 17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

Ver. 16. He shall not multiply horses. ] Lest he be held as our Henry III was, Regni dilapidator, the royal spendthrift.

The Lord hath said. ] Not in so many words, but by consequence, when he showed his displeasure against such as would have made them a captain to go back to Egypt. Numbers 14:4 ; Num 14:11
