“Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.”
Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies' — the fundamental principle: military success depends on God's presence; without the LORD, even mighty warriors fall. The Canaanites and Amalekites will overpower Israel precisely because God's presence is withdrawn.
