2 Sam. 22:34      2 Sam. 22:36

Second Samuel 22:35

He taught my hands to fight (trained me for war),
so that my arms could bend the bronze bow.
[This may refer to an actual bow decorated with bronze/copper at the ends, or it may be a poetic description of supernatural strength that can bend a metal bow. The bow was a well-known symbol of royal power in both Assyria and Egypt at this time. The Assyrian sun god Ashur is depicted with a bow. A relief found in Assyria, sculpted around the same time as David, describes how Ashur gives a magnificent bow to the king.]
