2 Samuel 23:6-8
Common English Bible
6 But despicable people are like thorns,
all of them good for nothing,
because they can’t be carried by hand.
7 No one can touch them,
except with iron bar or the shaft of a spear.
They must be burned up with fire right on the spot!
David’s warriors
8 These are the names of David’s warriors: Jeshbaal[a] from Hachmon[b] was chief of the Three.[c] He raised his spear[d] against eight hundred, killing them on a single occasion.
