This verse is often misinterpreted as a call to glorify violence or human warfare prowess independently of God, ignoring its context within David's psalm of thanksgiving for divine rescue, or as a promise of physical invincibility for all believers in modern combat, rather than a testimony of God's specific strengthening for David's righteous struggles against overwhelming foes.
II Samuel 22:35
King James Version (1769)
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
In II Samuel 22:35, David praises God for equipping him with the skills and strength needed for battle, enabling him to shatter even a bow of steel with his arms, underscoring that true power and victory in conflict come from divine training and empowerment rather than personal ability alone, as part of a broader song celebrating God's deliverance from enemies.
