Exegesis
Finally, the vav-consecutive perfect venatan etkhem beyadenu {וְנָתַ֥ן אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּיָדֵֽנוּ | wə-nā-ṭan ’et-khem bə-ya-dé-nū} ‘and He gave you into our hand’ conveys transfer of power. English renderings respect Hebrew word order and theological emphasis on divine agency.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:47
And all this company will know that the LORD does not save by sword or by spear; for the battle belongs to the LORD and He will hand you over into our hand.
