 Horseman
    Heb. ba'al parash, "master of a horse." The "horsemen" mentioned
    Ex. 14:9 were "mounted men", i.e., men who rode in chariots. The
    army of Pharaoh consisted of a chariot and infantry force. We
    find that at a later period, however, the Egyptians had cavalry
    (2 Chr. 12:3). (See HORSE.)
