Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠יְהִ֣י לִ⁠שְׁלֹמֹ֗ה אַרְבָּעִ֥ים אֶ֛לֶף אֻרְוֺ֥ת סוּסִ֖ים לְ⁠מֶרְכָּב֑⁠וֹ וּ⁠שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֥ר אֶ֖לֶף פָּרָשִֽׁים

and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,Solomon forty thousand stalls_of horses for,chariotry_of,his and,two_plus ten thousand horsemen )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about 12,000 horsemen with the information about 40,000 stalls of horses. Alternate translation: [And 40,000 stalls of horses and 12,000 horsemen were to Solomon for his chariotry]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

אַרְבָּעִ֥ים אֶ֛לֶף

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,Solomon forty thousand stalls_of horses for,chariotry_of,his and,two_plus ten thousand horsemen )

The traditional Hebrew text reads 40,000. The ULT follows that reading. The parallel passage in 2 Chronicles 9:25 and some Greek manuscripts of the Old Testament read “4,000.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
