We are given a hint in this chapter on how God took away the advantage of the chariots: floods/rain (verse 21). I have to wonder if the soldiers fighting for Israel may have initially complained about having to fight in the rain. Yes, indeed, there might not have been rain there, and it was further upstream, but to me, it seems like something God might do. Do you think this is bad? No, it's the victory.
Reminds me of a story I heard about Patton in WW2. It is said he entered a church, looked up, and told God that though he had thought the rain a curse, it was actually a bigger problem for the German Army and helped the Allies, so he admitted that God did right. Not bad for a man who, as I know, was a Christian.
