Footman
        

(1) Distinguished from the soldier on horseback or in a chariot.
        (2) The swift runners who attended the king; foretold by Samuel 1 Samuel 8:11 (1 Kings 14:27 margin). Swift running was much valued in a warrior (Psalm 19:5; Joel 2:7; Job 16:14). A characteristic of David, for which he praises God (1 Samuel 17:22; 1 Samuel 17:48; 1 Samuel 17:51; 1 Samuel 20:6; 2 Samuel 22:30; Psalm 18:29; compare 1 Chronicles 12:8 to end).
