2 Samuel 23:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ These be the names of the mighty men whom David hath: He that sat in the seat of [a]wisdom, being chief of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slew eight hundred at one time.
9 And after him was (A)Eleazar the son of Dodo, the son of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with David, when they [b]defied the Philistines gathered there to battle, when the men of Israel were [c]gone up.
10 He arose and smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his [d]hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord gave great victory the same day, and the people returned after him only to spoil.
