²³ The soldier who is riding it
    has his arrows ready at the horse's side.
Swords and spears shine brightly in the sun.
²⁴ The horse shakes with joy
    as it runs to the battle.
When the battle trumpet makes its noise,
    the horse wants to run even faster!^[a]
25 When it hears the sound of the trumpet,
    it makes a happy noise.
From far away, it recognizes the smell of the battle.
    It hears the army officers as they shout their commands.
