2 Samuel 22:2-3
22:2 a Hannah had said, “there is no Rock like our God” (1 Sam 2:2 b), while David said, the Lord is my rock, which recalls God’s rescue of David from Saul at the Rock of Escape (1 Sam 23:28 c). The Hebrew word translated “rock” in 22:3 d (different from 22:2 e) refers in 1 Sam 24:2 f to “the rocks of the wild goats,” where Saul suspected that David was hiding.• fortress: The same word referred to David’s physical “stronghold” (1 Sam 22:4 g), where David and his men sought refuge from Saul.
22:3 h The phrase the power that saves me (literally the horn that has saved me) is similar to Hannah’s “the Lord has made me strong!,” (literally the Lord has exalted my horn, 1 Sam 2:1 i).
