And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.
1 Chronicles 5:20, Berean Standard Bible

Outnumbered and in the thick of fighting, the warriors cried out to God, and the parallel between crying out and trusting is deliberate: prayer and faith are two sides of the same dependence.
