Quick answer

God will hand over the kings and make their name perish; no one will be able to stand before Israel. Complete victory is assured by divine power.

Overview

Even the strongest rulers fall before the LORD, and their memory is erased. No enemy can withstand the people God fights for. This total triumph displays God's sovereignty over the nations and foreshadows the final subjection of every power to Christ the King.
