The Battle Was Already Won

Commentators note that by the time Judah arrived at the watchtower after a march of several hours, the battle was already over. God had completely destroyed the enemy forces without Judah lifting a sword. This highlights that God's deliverance is not dependent on our strength, but on His power. Their role was to trust and then witness the victory He had already secured.
