And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
When the people of Judah reached the watchtower in the desert, they looked out at the enemy army. What they saw amazed them, dead bodies scattered all over the ground, and not a single enemy soldier had survived.
God completely destroyed Judah's enemies without the people of Judah having to fight at all, they arrived to find every enemy soldier already dead.
