2 Samuel 22:35

Verse 35 of 51. The 22nd of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

32For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?

33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

Matthew Henry on 2 Samuel 22:35

He made him very ingenious (He teacheth my hands to war, v. 35. And this ingenuity was as good as strength, for it follows, "so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms," not so much by main force as by dexterity), and very vigorous and valiant. (Thou hast girded me with strength to battle, v. 40.
