1 Chronicles 11:11-14

11:11 This is the list of David’s warriors: ¹ 

Jashobeam, a Hacmonite, was head of the officers. ²  He killed three hundred men with his spear in a single battle. ³ 

11:12 Next in command ⁴  was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. He was one of the three elite warriors. 11:13 He was with David in Pas Dammim ⁵  when the Philistines assembled there for battle. In an area of the field that was full of barley, the army retreated before the Philistines, 11:14 but then they made a stand in the middle of that area. They defended it ⁶  and defeated the Philistines; the Lord gave them a great victory. ⁷
