Zechariah 6:2

1 And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

3 the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.

4 So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
