The meaning of War, Man Of in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

('ish milchamah):

"Yahweh is a man of war:

Yahweh is his name" (Exodus 15:3).

In early Israel the character of Yahweh as the war-God forms a prominent feature in the conception of God (Numbers 10:35; Numbers 21:14; Joshua 5:13; Joshua 10:11; Judges 5:4, Judges 5:13, Judges 5:20, Judges 5:23, Judges 5:31, etc.).

See GOD, NAMES OF, III, 8; LORD OF HOSTS; and HDB, V, 635 ff.
