Psalms 18:37 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:37

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them
Which may refer to David's pursuing the Amalekites, who overtook them and recovered all they had carried away, ( 1 Samuel 30:8 1 Samuel 30:10 1 Samuel 30:18 1 Samuel 30:19 ) ; so Kimchi explains it;

neither did I turn again till they were consumed;
for not a man escaped, save four hundred young men that rode on camels and fled, ( Psalms 18:17 ) .
