Context of 2 Samuel 22:14

12He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky. 13Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth. The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. 15He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them. 16The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.
