God as the Divine Warrior
Commentators explain that calling God a "man of war" is a powerful metaphor. It emphasizes that God alone fought and won the victory for Israel, without human help. This title highlights God's role as the divine champion who single-handedly overthrows the enemies of His people, a truth that is dreadful to His foes but a source of praise and security for those He saves.
