Quote:Joshua 17:18 says, "though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron and though they are strong, you can drive them out."
No one in their right mind would make an iron chariot.

Quote:The chariot was a light vehicle, usually on two wheels, drawn by one or more horses, often carrying two standing persons, a driver and a fighter using bow-and-arrow or javelins.
Quote:The chariot then became a moving platform from which soldiers could shoot at enemies. Arrows and javelins were the main weapons used by the fighter on board, while a second person drove the chariot. The tactic was to move constantly, in and out of the battle, shooting from a distance.
The lighter they were, the faster they were.
