You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. The covenant blessing extends to military victory: the faithful community that faces enemies will pursue rather than flee, and the enemies will fall. The military victory blessing communicates the covenant's comprehensive protection: not only peace without conflict but triumph when conflict comes. The community that walks in covenant faithfulness is the community under divine protection in both the ordinary years without threat and the extraordinary moments of military challenge.
