What is the meaning of "mi'Daharos Daharos Abirav"?

1.

Rashi: They made the horses dance in war. This is like "Sus Doher" (Nachum 3:2).

Radak: Dehirah is a horse banging its feet strongly on the ground, whether when running or not when running; the latter looks like dancing. Abirav refers to the horsemen, or the horses.

Malbim: The waves of the river were like mighty [warriors] making their horses dance, to greet Sisera's chariots and horses. These waves removed the horses' hooves.
