Deu 17:16 CSB However, he must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire many horses, for the LORD has told you, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’ Three things about the behavior of the king were singled out.

Yet this was precisely the point. An obedient Israelite king was to depend not on military strength but on the Lord alone.

God’s plan is something people would have never dreamed of.
