1 Chronicles 11:8-15

New International Version

⁸ He built up the city around it, from the terraces^[a](A) to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. ⁹ And David became more and more powerful,^(B) because the Lord Almighty was with him.

David’s Mighty Warriors^(C)

¹⁰ These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel,^(D) gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised^(E)— ¹¹ this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:^(F)

Jashobeam,^[b] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers^[c]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.

¹² Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. ¹³ He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. ¹⁴ But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.^(G)

¹⁵ Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley^(H) of Rephaim.
