Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:15

Theological / Devotional

He sent out arrows. These flashes of lightning, followed by peals of thunder, are also pictured in Ps. 77:17, 18. God is portrayed in poetic imagery as a warrior sending forth His arrows for the destruction of His enemies (see Deut. 32:23; Job 6:4; Ps. 7:12, 13; 38:2; Lam. 3:12, 13).

Discomfited them. The Lord accomplishes the utter rout of His enemies, and His warfare against them results in their complete destruction (see Ex. 23:27; Joshua 10:10; Judges 4:15, 16; 1 Sam. 7:10).
