“V’gam Netzach Yisrael (Also the Victor of Israel) does not lie.” (1 Samuel 15:29)
It is known that the attribute of victory cannot countenance the truth. For even if a person clearly recognizes something as true, he will reject it because of [his desire to always achieve] victory. This is very clear.
However, the attribute of the Holy One cannot be likened to the attribute of flesh and blood. This is because even in victory, the Holy One is true and does not lie, Heaven forefend.
This is the meaning of: “Also the Victor of Israel does not lie.”
