2 Samuel 23:8-10

International Children’s Bible

David’s Army

⁸ These are the names of David’s warriors:

Josheb-Basshebeth, the Tahkemonite, was head of the Three.^[a] He killed 800 men at one time.

⁹ Next there was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. Eleazar was one of the three soldiers who were with David when they challenged the Philistines. The Philistines were gathered for battle, and the Israelites drew back. ¹⁰ But Eleazar stayed where he was. He fought the Philistines until he was so tired he could not let go of his sword. The Lord gave a great victory for the Israelites that day. The people came back after Eleazar had won the battle. But they came only to take weapons and armor from the enemy.
