Where in the Old Testament did a king say that he will give many horses if the other king on his part has enough men to set riders on them

The specific event you’re asking about appears in 2 Chronicles 9:25, during King Solomon’s reign. It is stated:
“Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.”
However, this passage does not indicate Solomon offering horses to another king if the other king had enough riders. Instead, it describes the vast wealth and resources of Solomon’s kingdom.
The Bible contains many narratives of kings and leaders providing various forms of assistance or gifts to each other, but it does not appear to include an incident where a king offers many horses if the other king has enough men to set riders on them. Remember, the Bible’s narratives can vary in different translations and interpretations, so the exact wording and interpretation can vary.
If you’re thinking of a specific story or passage that I have not covered here, could you provide more details?
ME 2 kings 18: 23
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

Ah, thank you for providing the specific verse. I apologize for the oversight. The verse you referenced is indeed from 2 Kings 18:23, where the Rabshakeh, a high-ranking Assyrian official, taunts King Hezekiah of Judah.
This is the context: The Assyrians, under King Sennacherib, have invaded Judah and are besieging Jerusalem. The Rabshakeh is essentially mocking King Hezekiah, suggesting that even if he were to give Hezekiah two thousand horses, Hezekiah wouldn’t have enough riders to mount them.
The verse is more a taunt or a challenge, rather than a genuine offer. It’s a part of psychological warfare aimed at demoralizing Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem. The verse goes like this:
“Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.” (2 Kings 18:23, KJV)
