God is the Source of Victory

Matthew Henry highlights that while the verse mentions the heroic deeds of David's men, it explicitly concludes, "Jehovah saved them by a great victory." This teaches that even when human courage and skill are on display, ultimate success and deliverance come from God. Believers are encouraged to attribute their victories not to their own strength but to God's mighty hand.
