Clarke's Exodus 17:13 Bible Commentary
Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people - Amalek might have been the name of the ruler of this people continued down from their ancestor, (see Clarke on Exodus 17:8 (note)), as Pharaoh was the name of all succeeding kings in Egypt. If this were the case, then Amalek and his people mean the prince and the army that fought under him. But if Amalek stand here for the Amalekites, then his people must mean the confederates he had employed on this occasion.
Barnes's Exodus 17:13 Bible Commentary
With the edge of the sword - This expression always denotes a great slaughter of the enemy.
Wesley's Exodus 17:13 Bible Commentary
17:13 Though God gave the victory, yet it is said Joshua discomfited Amalek, because Joshua was a type of Christ, and of the same name, and in him it is that we are more than conquerors.
