This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He arose, i. e. he undertook the work, as that word sometimes is used. Or, he stood (as it sometimes signifies) when the rest fled.
His hand clave unto the sword; 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.
Only to spoil i.e. to pursue the enemy, whom he had discomfited, and to take their spoil.
