God Fights For His People
Commentators emphasize that Israel's victory was not due to their own military strength. God promised to actively intervene by sending a 'terror' ahead of them. John Calvin explains this as a direct, internal work of God, who sovereignly casts down the hearts of enemies, causing them to flee. This victory is a gift from God, demonstrating His power and love for His people.
