From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Wagon
      Heb. aghalah; so rendered in Gen. 45:19, 21, 27; 46:5; Num. 7:3,
      7,8, but elsewhere rendered "cart" (1 Sam. 6:7, etc.). This
      vehicle was used for peaceful purposes. In Ezek. 23:24, however,
      it is the rendering of a different Hebrew word, and denotes a
      war-chariot.
