From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cart       a vehicle moving on wheels, and usually drawn by oxen (2 Sam.       6:3). The Hebrew word thus rendered, _'agalah_ (1 Sam. 6:7, 8),       is also rendered "wagon" (Gen. 45:19). It is used also to denote       a war-chariot (Ps. 46:9). Carts were used for the removal of the       ark and its sacred utensils (Num. 7:3, 6). After retaining the       ark amongst them for seven months, the Philistines sent it back       to the Israelites. On this occasion they set it in a new cart,       probably a rude construction, with solid wooden wheels like that       still used in Western Asia, which was drawn by two milch cows,       which conveyed it straight to Beth-shemesh.                A "cart rope," for the purpose of fastening loads on carts, is       used (Isa. 5:18) as a symbol of the power of sinful pleasures or       habits over him who indulges them. (See {CORD}.) In       Syria and Palestine wheel-carriages for any other purpose than       the conveyance of agricultural produce are almost unknown.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chariot       a vehicle generally used for warlike purposes. Sometimes, though       but rarely, it is spoken of as used for peaceful purposes.                The first mention of the chariot is when Joseph, as a mark of       distinction, was placed in Pharaoh's second state chariot (Gen.       41:43); and the next, when he went out in his own chariot to       meet his father Jacob (46:29). Chariots formed part of the       funeral procession of Jacob (50:9). When Pharaoh pursued the       Israelites he took 600 war-chariots with him (Ex. 14:7). The       Canaanites in the valleys of Palestine had chariots of iron       (Josh. 17:18; Judg. 1:19). Jabin, the king of Canaan, had 900       chariots (Judg. 4:3); and in Saul's time the Philistines had       30,000. In his wars with the king of Zobah and with the Syrians,       David took many chariots among the spoils (2 Sam. 8:4; 10:18).       Solomon maintained as part of his army 1,400 chariots (1 Kings       10:26), which were chiefly imported from Egypt (29). From this       time forward they formed part of the armies of Israel (1 Kings       22:34; 2 Kings 9:16, 21; 13:7, 14; 18:24; 23:30).                In the New Testament we have only one historical reference to       the use of chariots, in the case of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts.       8:28, 29, 38).                This word is sometimes used figuratively for hosts (Ps. 68:17;       2 Kings 6:17). Elijah, by his prayers and his counsel, was "the       chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." The rapid agency       of God in the phenomena of nature is also spoken of under the       similitude of a chariot (Ps. 104:3; Isa. 66:15; Hab. 3:8).                Chariot of the cherubim (1 Chr. 28:18), the chariot formed by       the two cherubs on the mercy-seat on which the Lord rides.                Chariot cities were set apart for storing the war-chariots in       time of peace (2 Chr. 1:14).                Chariot horses were such as were peculiarly fitted for service       in chariots (2 Kings 7:14).                Chariots of war are described in Ex. 14:7; 1 Sam. 13:5; 2 Sam.       8:4; 1 Chr. 18:4; Josh. 11:4; Judg. 4:3, 13. They were not used       by the Israelites till the time of David. Elijah was translated       in a "chariot of fire" (2 Kings 2:11). Comp. 2 Kings 6:17. This       vision would be to Elisha a source of strength and       encouragement, for now he could say, "They that be with us are       more than they that be with them."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Charity       (1 Cor. 13), the rendering in the Authorized Version of the word       which properly denotes love, and is frequently so rendered       (always so in the Revised Version). It is spoken of as the       greatest of the three Christian graces (1 Cor. 12:31-13:13).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cherith       a cutting; separation; a gorge, a torrent-bed or winter-stream,       a "brook," in whose banks the prophet Elijah hid himself during       the early part of the three years' drought (1 Kings 17:3, 5). It       has by some been identified as the Wady el-Kelt behind Jericho,       which is formed by the junction of many streams flowing from the       mountains west of Jericho. It is dry in summer. Travellers have       described it as one of the wildest ravines of this wild region,       and peculiarly fitted to afford a secure asylum to the       persecuted. But if the prophet's interview with Ahab was in       Samaria, and he thence journeyed toward the east, it is probable       that he crossed Jordan and found refuge in some of the ravines       of Gilead. The "brook" is said to have been "before Jordan,"       which probably means that it opened toward that river, into       which it flowed. This description would apply to the east as       well as to the west of Jordan. Thus Elijah's hiding-place may       have been the Jermuk, in the territory of the half-tribe of       Manasseh.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cord       frequently used in its proper sense, for fastening a tent (Ex.       35:18; 39:40), yoking animals to a cart (Isa. 5:18), binding       prisoners (Judg. 15:13; Ps. 2:3; 129:4), and measuring ground (2       Sam. 8;2; Ps. 78:55). Figuratively, death is spoken of as the       giving way of the tent-cord (Job 4:21. "Is not their tent-cord       plucked up?" R.V.). To gird one's self with a cord was a token       of sorrow and humiliation. To stretch a line over a city meant       to level it with the ground (Lam. 2:8). The "cords of sin" are       the consequences or fruits of sin (Prov. 5:22). A "threefold       cord" is a symbol of union (Eccl. 4:12). The "cords of a man"       (Hos. 11:4) means that men employ, in inducing each other,       methods such as are suitable to men, and not "cords" such as       oxen are led by. Isaiah (5:18) says, "Woe unto them that draw       iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart       rope." This verse is thus given in the Chaldee paraphrase: "Woe       to those who begin to sin by little and little, drawing sin by       cords of vanity: these sins grow and increase till they are       strong and are like a cart rope." This may be the true meaning.       The wicked at first draw sin with a slender cord; but by-and-by       their sins increase, and they are drawn after them by a cart       rope. Henderson in his commentary says: "The meaning is that the       persons described were not satisfied with ordinary modes of       provoking the Deity, and the consequent ordinary approach of his       vengeance, but, as it were, yoked themselves in the harness of       iniquity, and, putting forth all their strength, drew down upon       themselves, with accelerated speed, the load of punishment which       their sins deserved."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Court       the enclosure of the tabernacle (Ex. 27:9-19; 40:8), of the       temple (1 Kings 6:36), of a prison (Neh. 3:25), of a private       house (2 Sam. 17:18), and of a king's palace (2 Kings 20:4).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Crete       now called Candia, one of the largest islands in the       Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad. It was at one       time a very prosperous and populous island, having a "hundred       cities." The character of the people is described in Paul's       quotation from "one of their own poets" (Epimenides) in his       epistle to Titus: "The Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts,       slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete were in Jerusalem on       the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul       on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27). Here Paul subsequently left       Titus (1:5) "to ordain elders." Some have supposed that it was       the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.) or Philistines.

At present, Croatian Serb Separatists control approximately    one-third of the Croatian territory, and one of the overriding    determinants of Croatia's long-term political and economic prospects    will be the resolution of this territorial dispute. Croatia faces    serious economic problems stemming from: the legacy of longtime    Communist mismanagement of the economy; large foreign debt; damage    during the fighting to bridges, factories, power lines, buildings, and    houses; the large refugee population, both Croatian and Bosnian; and    the disruption of economic ties to Serbia and the other former    Yugoslav republics, as well as within its own territory. At the    minimum, extensive Western aid and investment, especially in the    tourist and oil industries, would seem necessary to revive the    moribund economy. However, peace and political stability must come    first; only then will recent government moves toward a    "market-friendly" economy restore old levels of output.
