The mention of the capture of these two kings and the conquest of their lands serves as a reminder of God's power and provision for His people. This historical account reinforces the importance of trusting in God's promises and following His guidance in times of battle and challenges.

John Gill Bible Commentary

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities,.... The oxen and sheep, camels and asses; their gold and silver, and the furniture of their houses; their stores of corn, and of other fruits of the earth, even all their substance of whatsoever kind: we took for a prey to ourselves; made them their own property, and used them for their own profit and service, whereby they became greatly enriched.
