Horse: Always referred to in the Bible in connection with warlike operations,
except
(Isaiah 28:28) The war-horse is described
(Job 39:19-25) For a long
period after their settlement in Canaan the Israelites made no use of
horses, according to the prohibition,
(Deuteronomy 17:16) David was the first
to form a force of cavalry
(2 Samuel 8:4) But Solomon, from his connection
with Egypt, greatly multiplied their number
(1 Kings 4:26; 10:26,29) After
this, horses were freely used in Israel
(1 Kings 22:4; 2 Kings 3:7; 9:21,33)
(2 Kings 11:16) The furniture of the horse consisted simply of a bridle
(Isaiah 30:28) and a curb
(Psalms 32:9)
