New Catholic Bible
11 [a]This is the list of David’s brave warriors: Ishbaal, a Hachmonite, was the leader of the captains. He raised up his spear against three hundred men at one time and he slew them.
12 After him there was Eleazar, the son of Dodo, who was one of the three mighty men. 13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. It was a field that was planted with barley, and the people fled before the Philistines.
