Context of 2 Samuel 22:11
9Smoke went up out of His nostrils, Fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it. 10He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. And He rode on a cherub and flew; And He appeared on the wings of the wind. 12And He made darkness canopies around Him, A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky. 13From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.
