2 Samuel 23:9
Gone away - Rather, went up to battle (II Samuel 5:19; II Kings 3:21, etc.) against them. These words and what follows as far as "troop" II Samuel 23:11 have fallen out of the text in Chronicles. The effect of this is to omit EIeazar' s feat, as here described, to attribute to him Shammah' s victory, to misplace the flight of the Israelites, and to omit Shammah altogether from the list of David' s mighty men.
