Moses blesses Joseph with horns "like the horns of unicorns" (Deut 33:17), and Hannah's song first ties the horn to the coming king: Yahuah "shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed" (1 Sam 2:10). David's line receives it, "there will I make the horn of David to bud" (Ps 132:17); in Daniel horns are kings (Dan 7:7-8). The book reads the Lamb's seven horns as complete royal and judicial authority, gained through triumph and not inherited. The horn is given and exalted by Yahuah, which leaves no ground for reading it as proof that the Lamb is co-equal with the One who gives it.
