15 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them.
15 God shot his arrows - pandemonium! He hurled his lightnings - a rout!
15 He sent out arrows and scattered them; Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them.
15 He shot arrows and scattered his enemies; his lightning flashed, and they were confused.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:15
Chapter Contents
David's psalm of thanksgiving.
This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as 2 Timothy 4:18. Those who receive signal mercies from God, ought to give him the glory. In the day that God delivered David, he sang this song. While the mercy is fresh, and we are most affected with it, let the thank-offering be brought, to be kindled with the fire of that affection. All his joys and hopes close, as all our hopes should do, in the great Redeemer.
