Exegesis
The negation kilo {כִּֽי־לֹ֛א | kî-lō} with the instrumental phrases becherev uvachanith {בְּחֶ֥רֶב וּבַחֲנִ֖ית | bə-ḥe-rêv ū-va-ḥa-nîṯ} ‘by sword and by spear’ systematically rejects human means.
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.
