What Does 1 Samuel 14:20 Mean?
Saul rallies his six hundred and rushes into the conflict, only to discover the battle already decided. Throughout the Philistine ranks, every man's sword is turned against his comrade, and the camp collapses in a vast confusion.
Israel arrives to a victory God had already won. The Lord had thrown the enemy into such disarray that they destroyed themselves before Saul struck a blow. So often the people of God are called not to manufacture deliverance but to step into the salvation He has prepared, and to give Him the praise.
