The Mighty Men of David

10 Now ^athese were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to ^bthe word of the Lord concerning Israel.

11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: ^aJashobeam the son of a Hachmonite, ^bchief of the captains; he had lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed by him at one time.

12 After him was Eleazar the son of ^aDodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

1 Chronicles 11:10

Strengthened themselves - Or "exerted themselves" - "strenuously assisted with all Israel in making David king." This list of David' s principal heroes belongs, therefore, to his reign at Hebron. In Samuel the list is not given until nearly the end of David' s reign 2 Sam. 23:8-39.
