Dict: easton - Horse

easton:

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