Did Solomon have 4000 or 40,000 stalls for horses?

[TonyChanYT]

2 Chronicles 9:

25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

1 Kings 4:

26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

Pulpit explained:

Verse 26. - And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses [40,000 is certainly a clerical error, probably for 4000 (i.e., אַרְבָּיעים for אַרְבָּעָה). For
(1) in the parallel passage in Chronicles the number is stated as 4000.
(2) 4000 agrees, and 40,000 does not, with the other numbers here given.

Pulpit explained:

or maybe you did not read carefully enough.

stalls for 4000 is "urva" which is a feewd trough mostly

while the stalls for the 40,000 are "erwot", which are stalls. Tweo differing words with two differing meanings.

"Did Solomon have 4000 or 40,000 stalls for horses?"​

Why? What's the point of this question? It's just a waste of time to talk about such trivia.

@TonyChanYT Instead of continually asking all these question it would be nice to see you post something with some real substance. Such as how you came to Jesus or how God speaks to you and what He is doing in your life right now. Or even how you will be spending Christmas. Something that connects.
