What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Over him will rattle the quiver, the spear will shake, and the shield. 62. In Holy Scripture by the word 'quiver' is designated, sometimes the just and hidden counsel of God; but sometimes the clandestine machination of the wicked. By 'quiver' is expressed the just and hidden counsel of God, as this same blessed Job in a former part bears witness, saying, Because He hath opened His quiver, and afflicted me. [Job 30, 11] That is, He has disclosed His hidden counsel, and has wounded me with an open blow. …
Thomas Aquinas
Loud noise alone is usually enough to terrify most animals, but this does not apply to the horse, and so he says, "Above him the quiver will sound," that is, full of arrows when it is shaken at the motion of the soldier sitting on the horse. The pike and the shield likewise produce some sound of war, and so he says, "the pike will vibrate," for a pike makes a noise when it is brandished. A shield also makes a noise when it is moved and struck with arms and so he says, "and the shield," sounds.
