The third military engagement, armed now with divine assurance of victory, results in Israel advancing against Benjamin with the spiritual confidence that their cause has been legitimated through covenant intercession. The shift from human strategy to divinely-assured victory demonstrates that Israel's earlier defeats functioned as corrective judgment, drawing them into proper relationship with God before executing judgment against Benjamin. This verse illustrates the theocratic principle that Israel's military success depends upon covenant fidelity and divine endorsement.
