2 Samuel 22:40 In-Context

38 When I chased my enemies I caught them; I didn't let go till they were dead men.
39 I nailed them; they were down for good; then I walked all over them.
40 You armed me well for this fight; you smashed the upstarts.
41 You made my enemies turn tail, and I wiped out the haters.
42 They cried "uncle" but Uncle didn't come; They yelled for God and got no for an answer.
