Context of 2 Samuel 22:44
42They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not. 43Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, and spread them abroad. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. 45Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me. 46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall come trembling out of their fortresses.
