God's Unrecorded Victories

Commentators note that while some deliverances (like from the Amalekites) are recorded elsewhere, the specific oppressions by the Sidonians and Maonites are not detailed in Scripture. This highlights that God's faithfulness is even greater than what is written, and the Bible provides a summary, not an exhaustive history, of His saving acts for His people.
