If I could guess, I'd guess the lyre? The instrument mentioned in psalms and proverbs.
I could easily see someone hearing a twang from a bow when using a bow and arrow and trying to adapt that to some kind of harp.
Building a box shape for the strings to be over would come next, I'd suppose. The stick with a single string down to a sound box of some kind might be in there somewhere too.
Then trying the bow from a bow and arrow to drag string against string would be logical, leading to some version of a violin or upright bass.
Just guessing, mind you -- hope it helps you on your research.

Maybe the primitive string instrument known as the Lyra. Was it a harp or guitar, I don't know, but it's mentioned in the Bible.

But there again, the Harp was played by Christians Back before
