A Chorus of Victory
Scholars explain that this verse refers to an ancient Israelite custom. After God granted a military victory (the 'word'), a great company of women would celebrate and announce the good news with songs and dances, similar to Miriam in Exodus 15 or the women who celebrated David's triumph in 1 Samuel 18. This public celebration gave all the glory to God for the success.
