Commentators emphasize that God's promise to defeat Israel's enemies was the fulfillment of His sworn word, spoken to their ancestors long before. As John Gill notes, this promise is recorded in Genesis and Exodus. This shows that Israel's victory was not based on their strength but on God's faithfulness to His own covenant promises.
