Notes

2 Chronicles 8:6

Some cities served as storage sites and for military cavalry. Large building complexes at Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer had long rooms divided into three sections with two rows of pillars. These rooms might have been used as stables and storehouses, or they might have served as barracks for a professional army.
