To make war against me. Therefore Moshe, after saying to the people of Israel, If you will say in your hart, These nations are more than I, how will I be able to drive them out? (Devarim - Deuteronomy 7:17), declared: You will not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is in the midst of you (Devarim - Deuteronomy 7:18,21).

The interpretation of שתו may be "they have fought." And so "they have taken their stand" (fought, שת שתו ) "at the gate" (Yeshayahu - Isaiah 22:7);
and " He will assail (ישית) thy waves with violence" (Iyov - Job 38:11).
