Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
POST . ‘Post’ is used in 2 Chronicles 30:6 , Esther 8:14 , Job 9:25 , Jeremiah 51:31 for ‘a bearer of despatches,’ ‘a runner.’ These runners were chosen from the king’s bodyguard, and were noted for their swiftness, whence Job’s simile ( Job 9:25 ), ‘My days are swifter than a post.’
