Worship Before Warfare

Commentators explain that the king offered sacrifices before a major undertaking, demonstrating his dependence on God. The people's prayer is that God would 'remember' these acts of worship and grant favor. This serves as a model for believers to begin their own endeavors not with self-reliance, but by first seeking God's blessing through prayer and worship.
