Notes on this verse:
Here Kimchi and Ben Melech observe, that the future tense is put for the past, and that the sense is, one of them had chased a thousand in their war with the Canaanites. But Abarbinel disapproves of this observation, and thinks it refers to time to come, what they should be able to do if they cleaved unto the Lord. This was fulfilled in Samson (Judges 15:15). Such a promise was made (Lev. 26:8).
“For the Lord your God he it is that fighteth for you”: And no wonder then that a thousand should be put to flight by one man. The Targum interprets it of the Word of the Lord as in (Joshua 23:3).
“As he hath promised you”: (see Deut. 1:30).
One man and God is a majority, regardless of how many there are on the other side.
Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?”
There is no limit to what God can do. It is the LORD within them that won the battle.
