From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Post
    (1.) A runner, or courier, for the rapid transmission of
    letters, etc. (2 Chr. 30:6; Esther 3:13, 15; 8:10, 14; Job 9:25;
    Jer. 51:31). Such messengers were used from very early times.
    Those employed by the Hebrew kings had a military character (1
    Sam. 22:17; 2 Kings 10:25, "guard," marg. "runners"). The modern
    system of postal communication was first established by Louis
    XI. of France in A.D. 1464.
      (2.) This word sometimes also is used for lintel or threshold
    (Isa. 6:4).
