Context of 2 Samuel 22:41
39And I have destroyed them and wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet. 40For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose against me. You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me. 42They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them. 43Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trod them like dirt in the streets, And I spread them out.
