Luke 1:69 Douay-Rheims

And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Serm. de Anna. IV.) Now by a horn he means power, glory, and honour, deriving it metaphorically from the brute creatures, to whom God has given horns for defence and glory.
