Context of 2 Samuel 22:14

12He shrouded himself in darkness, in thick rain clouds. 13From the brightness in front of him came coals of fire. The Lord thundered from the sky; the sovereign One shouted loudly. 15He shot arrows and scattered them, lightning and routed them. 16The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by the Lord’s battle cry, by the powerful breath from his nose.
