What is the meaning of "[Parash Ma'aleh] v'Lahav Cherev]"?

1.

Rashi: It is the sword's blade - "va'Yavo Gam ha'Nitzav Achar ha'Lahav" (Shoftim 3:22).

2.

Radak: The horseman raises the sword's blade. The prefix Vov in v'Lahav is extra, like "va'Yisa Avraham Es Einav" (Bereishis 22:4).

3.

Malbim: The cavalry will go high on the mountains where chariots and horses 1 cannot go.
