Worship Before the Victory
Commentators explain that Jehoshaphat and Judah's worship was not a celebration after the battle, but an immediate act of faith before it. By bowing, they expressed their belief in God's promise and their thankfulness for the deliverance He had just announced. This shows that true worship is a powerful response to God's word, not just His visible works.
