Carriage

Carriage in the King James Version consistently refers to luggage, baggage, or equipment carried by travelers and soldiers, not to a wheeled vehicle. The Hebrew and Greek terms denote burdens or packed belongings: the Danites' cattle and goods (Judges 18:21), the heavy idols borne by weary animals in Isaiah's lament (Isaiah 46:1), David's provisions left with a keeper when he went to the battlefront (1 Samuel 17:22), and the military baggage train of an army (Isaiah 10:28; 1 Samuel 10:22). In Acts 21:15, Paul and his companions "took up their carriages" — meaning they packed their baggage — and went up to Jerusalem. The modern English meaning of a wheeled conveyance had not yet developed when the KJV was translated in 1611.
