7 but the man who touches them
arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
and they are utterly consumed with fire.”[a]
David's Mighty Men
8 (A)These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: (B)Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite; he was chief of the three.[b] He wielded his spear[c] against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.
9 And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of (C)Dodo, son of (D)Ahohi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.
