2 Samuel 23:7
Compare all
5 “Although my house is not so with God,
aYet He has made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things and secure.
For this is all my salvation and all my desire;
Will He not make it increase? 
6 But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away,
Because they cannot be taken with hands.
7 But the man who touches them
Must be1 armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.”  

David’s Mighty Men

8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had:1 Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief among the captains. He was called Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time.  
9 And after him was aEleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
