From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Cart
    a vehicle moving on wheels, and usually drawn by oxen (2 Sam.
    6:3). The Hebrew word thus rendered, _'agalah_ (1 Sam. 6:7, 8),
    is also rendered "wagon" (Gen. 45:19). It is used also to denote
    a war-chariot (Ps. 46:9). Carts were used for the removal of the
    ark and its sacred utensils (Num. 7:3, 6). After retaining the
    ark amongst them for seven months, the Philistines sent it back
    to the Israelites. On this occasion they set it in a new cart,
    probably a rude construction, with solid wooden wheels like that
    still used in Western Asia, which was drawn by two milch cows,
    which conveyed it straight to Beth-shemesh.
      A "cart rope," for the purpose of fastening loads on carts, is
    used (Isa. 5:18) as a symbol of the power of sinful pleasures or
    habits over him who indulges them. (See CORD.) In
    Syria and Palestine wheel-carriages for any other purpose than
    the conveyance of agricultural produce are almost unknown.
