A Cry of Desperation
Commentators like Barnes and Calvin explain that the enemies' cry to God was not one of sincere repentance, but a last-ditch effort to save their own lives. They turned to God out of necessity, not a change of heart. This highlights the crucial difference between a cry of desperation and a genuine plea for mercy rooted in faith, which God promises to hear.
