Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 23:10

10 He arose , and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword : and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him onely to spoyl.

i. e. He undertook the Work, as that Word sometimes is used. Or, he stood, (as it sometimes signifies) when the rest fled.

Either through Sweat or Blood, or by a Contraction of the Sinews. Or thus, yet did his hand cleave to his sword; i. e. Though he was weary, he did not desist, but continued Fighting.

i. e. To pursue the Enemy whom he had discomfited, and to take their Spoil.
