Chris.
Those people captured in the Lord's Victory were all to belong to the Lord's People. They would come to the realisation that the Lord was with His People. Whenever the Lord gives a Victory of some sort there is always some kind of real evidence of it. In this case a heathen people who were previously enemies of God and His People declared that God was with His People and that there was no other God.
