King James Version (KJV)

2 Samuel 22:40

“For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.”

Verse in context — 2 Samuel 22

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

David’s reign as king, his triumphs and failures, and God’s covenant with him.
