Question on Smite Evil

[Shango]

I am not sure, so someone clue me in. Is the smite ability supposed to be on every attack the paladin makes against the chosen foe until it is dead, or is the ability to smite supposed to last until a single hit is made against the chosen foe (unless it dies first)?

Every attack until your friendly neighborhood Evil guy bites it.

every attack until dead, it can add up to a lot of damage.

Or until the pally rests and regains smite evil uses (:
