What Does 2 Samuel 22:15 Mean?

God's thunder becomes action. He looses 'arrows', the lightning bolts of the storm, and the enemies that surrounded David are scattered and thrown into confusion. The same flashes that lit the sky now rout the foe.

The picture turns the threatening storm into David's defense. What seemed a force of chaos is revealed as a weapon in the hand of God on behalf of His servant. The Lord fights for those who call on Him, and the very powers that frighten us may be the means of our rescue.
