Context of 2 Samuel 22:14

12He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. 13A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth. The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. 15He shot arrows and scattered his enemies; his lightning flashed, and they were confused. 16Then at the command of the Lord, at the blast of his breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.
