Exegesis
The prepositional phrases al-mitsrayim {עַל־מִצְרַיִם | ʿal-miṣrāyim} “upon Egypt” and le-rekhev u-le-parashim {לְרֶ֖כֶב וּלְפָרָשִׁים | lᵉreḵēḇ ū-lᵉpārašîm} “for chariots and for horsemen” detail the military assets in which reliance is placed. English syntax smooths the Hebrew order while maintaining the verse’s ironic tension and hierarchical nuance.
In context — 2 Kings 18:24
And how can you repel even one captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
