Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 7:14

"They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see." — 2 Kings 7:14 (ASV)

Two chariot horses. —Literally, two chariots (of) horses, i.e., teams for two chariots, or two pairs of horses. The chariots and their drivers are implied, not mentioned. Two chariots were sent, so that if attacked they might make a better resistance; or perhaps in order that, if one were captured by the enemy, the other might escape with the news.
