It means you wouldn't have been killed for what your family members did. Sometimes God punished the children of wicked people.
Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
If He stopped doing it in the O.T. He wouldn't have continued it in the N.T.

((where do you get that idea?))
"testing" does not of necessity imply doubt. it can be used in language where you might also use "proving" - you can certainly "test" something in which you have full confidence. for example, if you built a floor and are showing it off, you might tell a guest, 'go ahead, test it out' - indicating they should walk on it. you don't need it to be proven to you that the floor won't fall through. you don't doubt whether or not it is stable. but you invite someone to walk, because you want to demonstrate your confidence, and make sure their hope.

I agree victory belongs to the Lord our God who is the father of creation including Jesus. There are no partners to the Creator. Consider that while you stand and look out into the world, God is in you and each person you see. Each person is God's manifestation, proof of His existence. To claim Jesus was God claims God was not in any other living being.
This gives the term 'king' a human face. What does deliver a king, is God. In my mind, what this says is, don't rely on man for deliverance from God.
In revelation, we are told a new name will be given which will not be known to us.
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
