2 SAMUEL 22:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.”
Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him — The theophany continues with fire imagery: smoke from nostrils, fire from mouth, coals flaming forth. These images, common in ancient Near Eastern descriptions of divine anger, depict God as a consuming force.
