David’s Mighty Warriors(A)

These are the names of the warriors whom David had:

Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, was head of the three.[a] He was also known as Adino the Eznite, on account of eight hundred slain on one occasion.

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of Ahohi. He was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered together there to fight when the men of Israel withdrew. 10 He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day, and the people returned only to plunder.
