2 Samuel 23:8-12

David’s Mighty Men

^8 (A)These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the ^[a]captains; he was called Adino the Eznite because of eight hundred who were killed by him at one time. ⁹ And after him was Eleazar the son of ^(B)Dodo the ^(C)Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had ^[b]withdrawn. ^10 (D)He rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and ^[c]it clung to the sword, and ^(E)the Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder the dead.

¹¹ Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee, a ^(F)Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered ^[d]into an army where there was a plot of land full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines. ¹² But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, defended it, and struck the Philistines; and ^(G)the Lord brought about a great victory.
