John Gill 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)

They took therefore two chariot horses
Not five, but two only, and those the best, that drew in the king's chariot perhaps, and so were better fed, and fitter for this expedition:

and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, go and see ;
whether they were fled or not.
