Context of Isaiah 2:7
5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with the manners from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of foreigners. Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Their land also is full of silver and gold - This “gold” was brought chiefly from Ophir.

But Solomon disobeyed (1Ki 20:26). Horses could be used effectively for war in the plains of Egypt; not so in the hilly Judea.
