So the LORD our God
This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between the Israelites and Yahweh. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. "Our God" underscores the personal and communal relationship the Israelites have with God, highlighting His role as their protector and guide. This phrase sets the stage for understanding that the subsequent victory is not by human might but by divine intervention.

delivered him over to us
The Hebrew root for "delivered" is "nathan," which means to give or to hand over. This conveys the idea that God actively intervened in the situation, granting the Israelites victory. It reflects the belief that God is sovereign over all nations and rulers, and He orchestrates events according to His divine will. This act of deliverance is a fulfillment of God's promises to Israel, demonstrating His faithfulness and power.

and we defeated him
The word "defeated" comes from the Hebrew "nakah," meaning to strike or smite. This indicates a decisive victory, one that is complete and overwhelming. The Israelites' success is attributed to God's intervention, reinforcing the theme that their strength and success come from their obedience and reliance on God. This victory serves as a testament to God's ability to fulfill His promises and protect His people.

and his sons
The mention of "his sons" signifies the complete destruction of the enemy's lineage and future threat. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the defeat of a king's sons would symbolize the end of his dynasty and the assurance that the threat would not rise again. This detail underscores the totality of God's deliverance and the security He provides to His people.

and his whole army
The phrase "his whole army" highlights the comprehensive nature of the victory. The Hebrew word for "army" is "chayil," which can also mean strength or valor. This indicates that not only was the king defeated, but his entire military force was overcome. This serves as a powerful reminder of God's supremacy over earthly powers and His ability to protect His people against overwhelming odds.

(33) And his sons.--As the Hebrew is written, it should be his son (possibly a person of distinction).

Verses 33, 34 (cf. Numbers 22:24, 25; Numbers 32:34, 35, etc.). - And utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones.... we left none to remain. As the Amorites came out of Canaan, they belonged to the race which God had doomed to destruction. The Israelites, therefore, had a commission to extirpate them. Utterly destroyed; literally, devoted or placed under a ban, which of course implied utter destruction. The men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city; literally, every city of men and women and little children. The phrase "city of men" can hardly mean, as Rosenmüller affirms, "men of a city;" the hypallage here would be too violent. It rather means "a peopled city," "a city inhabited by men." The word rendered "men" (מְתִים) does not designate males as opposed to females, but is a designation of human beings in general (cf. Job 11:3; Job 24:12 [Hebrews 20:48]; 31:31; Psalm 26:4, "vain persons," Authorized Version, literally, men of emptiness or of falsehood, etc.). The passage might be rendered, every inhabited city, even the women and the little children.
