To have houghed the horses would have been both unreasonable and inhuman; for, as he had gained so complete a victory, there was no danger of their falling into the hands of the enemy; and if he did not choose to keep them, which indeed the law would not permit, he ought to have killed them outright., houghed, [Deuteronomy 17:16](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/17/16), [Joshua 11:6](../../../kjv/joshua/11/6), [Joshua 11:9](../../../kjv/joshua/11/9), [Psalms 20:7](../../../kjv/psalms/20/7), [Psalms 33:16](../../../kjv/psalms/33/16), [Psalms 33:17](../../../kjv/psalms/33/17)
