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; 11:16 ). The furniture of the horse consisted simply of a bridle (Isaiah 30:28 ) and a curb (Psalm 32:9 ).
