This victory demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to give the land to His people. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and trust in God's guidance, as the Israelites followed His instructions in battle.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which he took on the second day,.... Either the second day from the slaughter of the kings, or rather the second day of the encampment or siege; so Kimchi: and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah; no mention is made of its king, because he was one of the five kings that had been hanged up; so that at the taking of this city there was no king.
