The Battle Belongs to God
Commentators emphasize that the phrase "the battle is not yours, but God's" is a profound declaration of divine sovereignty. Scholars connect this to David's words to Goliath and God's title "Jehovah Sabaoth" (Lord of Armies), showing that God himself is the one who fights for His people. The reason they shouldn't fear the "great multitude" is because the outcome depended on God, not them.
