The Three Heroes
10 This is a list of the leaders over David’s special soldiers. These heroes became very powerful with David in his kingdom. They and all the Israelites supported David and made him king, just as the Lord had promised.
11 This is a list of David’s special soldiers:
Jashobeam the Hacmonite[a] was the leader of the king’s special forces.[b] Jashobeam used his spear to kill 300 men at one time.
12 Next there was Eleazar son of Dodai[c] from Ahoah. Eleazar was one of the Three Heroes.[d]
