‏ Exodus 17:15

v. 15: Moses built an altar to thank God and called it “Jehovah-nissi,” which means “The Lord is my banner” . Instead of honoring Joshua or himself, Moses gave all the glory to God. The altar was a way for everyone to remember that God fought for them, and his presence was like a banner over them (Psalm 20:5 a).
