8 Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 And Moses sayde to Ioshua, Chuse vs out men, and go fight with Amalek: to morowe I will stande on the toppe of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. 10 So Ioshua did as Moses bad him, & fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went vp to the top of the hill. 11 And when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel preuailed: but when he let his hande downe, Amalek preuailed. 12 Nowe Moses handes were heauy: therefore they tooke a stone and put it vnder him, and hee sate vpon it: and Aaron and Hur stayed vp his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side: so his hands were steady vntill the going downe of the sunne. 13 And Ioshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 And the Lorde sayde to Moses, Write this for a remembrance in the booke, and rehearse it to Ioshua: for I will vtterly put out the remembraunce of Amalek from vnder heauen. 15 (And Moses builte an altar and called the name of it, Iehouah-nissi) 16 Also he said, The Lord hath sworne, that he will haue warre with Amalek from generation to generation.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Amalek being distinguished from "his people", has led some to think that Amalek was the name of the king, or general of the army, and that it was a common name to the kings of that nation, as Pharaoh was to the kings of Egypt; but for this there is no foundation in the Scriptures: as Amelek signifies the Amalekites, his people may design the confederates and auxiliaries, the other people, as Ben Gersom expresses it, they brought with them to fight against Israel. And so Jerom z says, by him another Canaanite dwelt, who also fought against Israel in the wilderness, of whom it is so written, and Amalek and the Canaanite dwelt in the valley, Numbers 14:25 and who were all, the one as the other, at least the greatest part of them, cut to pieces by the edge of the sword of Joshua and the Israelites, who obtained a complete victory over them; as the spiritual Israel of God will at last over all their spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, the world, and death.
z Ut supra. (De Locis Hebr. fol. 87. M.)
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With the edge of the sword - This expression always denotes a great slaughter of the enemy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 17:13. Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people — Amalek might have been the name of the ruler of this people continued down from their ancestor, (Exodus 17:8; Exodus 17:8,) 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.
