[Job 30:10](../../../kjv/job/30/10) . [Isaiah 50:6](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/6) .

Occurs only here and [1 Kings 4:26](../../../kjv/1-kings/4/26) , where it is rendered "chariot", and [Song of Solomon 3:9](../../../kjv/song-of-solomon/3/9) . The seat in a palanquin. The feminine form occurs forty-four times, and is always rendered "chariot". **unclean.** The Septuagint adds "until evening", as in every other case.
