'Pursued' in the Bible

Asahel pursued Abner and did not turn to the right or to the left as he followed him.

But Joab and Abishai [Asahel’s brothers] pursued Abner. When the sun was going down, they came to the hill of Ammah, which is in front of Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.

So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people halted and no longer pursued Israel, nor did they fight anymore.

But Amasa [who had replaced Joab as David’s commander] was off guard and not attentive to the sword in Joab’s hand. So Joab struck Amasa in the abdomen with the sword, spilling his intestines to the ground. Without another blow Amasa died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

“I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,And I did not turn back until they were consumed (eliminated).
