EXPOSITION.
Suddenly the terrible artillery of heaven was discharged;
the _brightness_ of lightning lit up the clouds as with a glory
proceeding from him who was concealed within the cloudy pavilion;
and volleys of hailstones and coals of fire were hurled forth
upon the enemy. The lightnings seemed to cleave the clouds and
kindle them into a blaze, and then hailstones and flakes of fire
with flashes of terrific grandeur terrified the sons of men.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 12.--"_Coals of fire_." The word signifies, living,
_burning coals_. Where the lightning fell, it devoured all before
it, and burned whatever it touched into burning embers.--^Samuel
Chandler.
