What does the Bible say about the battle being the Lord's?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the battle belongs to the Lord, as seen in 1 Samuel 17:47, where David declares that the Lord saves, not by sword or spear.

In 1 Samuel 17:47, David boldly asserts, 'For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.' This declaration emphasizes God's sovereignty over our struggles and the ultimate victory that He secures. The battle referenced goes beyond mere physical conflict; it encapsulates the spiritual warfare against sin, pride, and the law's condemnation. Furthermore, this reflects the greater battle fought by Jesus Christ, who faced the wrath of God alone, emerging victorious on our behalf, showing that all salvation is accomplished through Him.
