Exploits of David’s Warriors

These are the names of David’s warriors:(A)

Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the officers.[a] He wielded his spear[b] against 800 men that he killed at one time.

After him, Eleazar son of Dodo son of an Ahohite was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines. The men of Israel retreated in the place they had gathered for battle, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and attacked the Philistines until his hand was tired and stuck to his sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops came back to him, but only to plunder the dead.
