Context of 2 Samuel 22:37

35He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass. 36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped. 38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet.
