Psalms 18:34 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 18:34
God trained David's hands for war and arms to bend a bronze bow. The Hebrew 'lamad' (trained/taught) indicates divine instruction in military skills. Bending a bronze bow required extraordinary strength. This illustrates God's comprehensive providence—even practical skills come from Him. It anticipates Paul's teaching that diverse abilities come from the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-6). All legitimate skills glorify God when used for His purposes.
