The discovery — the abundance — 'When Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and behold, there were dead bodies lying on the ground; none had escaped' (וקוה יהודה אל הנשקפה במדבר ויפנו אל המון והנה פגרים נפלים ארצה ופליט אין). The 'watchtower of the wilderness' (נשקפה במדבר) is a vantage point from which the people surveyed the carnage. The vision of dead bodies (פגרים) emphasizes the completeness of the enemy's defeat. The phrase 'and none had escaped' (ופליט אין, no survivor) asserts total victory — not a single enemy soldier escaped. The progression is striking: the people depart singing praise, discover the enemy's self-destruction, and find that the battle is already won. This is the logical and theological conclusion to the oracle: the people are told not to fight, they sing praise, and the enemy is destroyed.
