Horse
From BibleWiki
Always referred to in the Bible in connection with warlike operations, except Isa 28:28. The war-horse is described in Job 39:19ff. For a long period after their settlement in Canaan the Israelites made no use of horses, according to the prohibition, Deut 17:16. David was the first to form a force of cavalry (2 Sam 8:4). But Solomon, from his connection with Egypt, greatly multiplied their number (1 Kg 4:26; 1 Kg 10:26ff). After this, horses were freely used in Israel (1 Kg 22:4; 2Kg 3:7; 2Kg 9:21, 2Kg 9:33; 2Kg 11:16). The furniture of the horse consisted simply of a bridle (Isa 30:28) and a curb (Ps 329).
