[6] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
thunder
   often referred to in scripture job 40:9; ps. 77:18; 104:7.
   james and john were called by our lord "sons of thunder" mark
   3:17. in job 39:19, instead of "thunder," as in the authorized
   version, the revised version translates ra'amah by "quivering
   main" marg., "shaking". thunder accompanied the giving of the
   law at sinai ex. 19:16. it was regarded as the voice of god
   job 37:2; ps. 18:13; 81:7; comp. john 12:29. in answer to
   samuel's prayer 1 sam. 12:17, 18, god sent thunder, and "all
   the people greatly feared," for at such a season the
   wheat-harvest thunder and rain were almost unknown in
   palestine.
