# horsemen #
## Definition: ##
In Bible times, the term "horsemen" referred to men who rode horses into battle.
* Warriors who rode in horse-pulled chariots may also have been called "horsemen," though this term usually refers to men who are actually riding on the horses.
* The Israelites believed that using horses in battle placed too much emphasis on their own strength rather than on Yahweh, so they did not use a lot of horsemen.
* This term could also be translated as, "horse riders" or "men on horses."
