Mowing
Smith's Bible Dictionary
Mowing. As the great heat of the climate in Palestine and other similarly situated countries soon dries up the herbage itself, hay-making in our sense of the term is not in use. The "king's mowings," Amos 7:1, may perhaps refer to some royal right, of early pasturage for the use of the cavalry.
