From the infantry the prophet proceeds to the chariots, in which the Egyptians placed great confidence. Get up, ye horsemen - Or, “mount the steeds.” Furbish - i. e., polish, sharpen. Brigandines - In old times brigand meant a soldier, and we still call a division of an army a brigade, and a commander a brigadier, i. e., a brigandier, or captain of brigands. Similarly a brigandine means a soldier’s equipment, and is put here for a coat of mail. return to 'Top of Page'
