Comentario sobre II Samuel 22:35
מְלַמֵּ֥ד יָדַ֖י לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְנִחַ֥ת קֶֽשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁ֖ה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃
El que enseña mis manos para la pelea, y da que con mis brazos quiebre el arco de acero.
Rashi on II Samuel
My arms to bend a copper bow. So that a copper bow can be bent by my arms because I have the strength to bend them. Dovid had bows hanging in his palace, and kings of other nations would come and see them and ask each other, Do you think that he can bend them? This is only to scare us. Dovid would hear them and would take them [the bows] and bend them in front of them [the kings]. The binding of a bow is denoted by the word חִתַּת24In our verse it says ונחת, חתת is it’s root. and so [we find], "Your arrows have been shot into me".25Tehilim 38:3.
