Contextual Overview

8 These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time. 9 And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp. 10 He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lorde gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle. 11 After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims. 12 But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lorde gaue great victorie. 13 Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim. 14 And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem. 15 And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate. 16 The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke & brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord, 17 And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Shammah: 1 Chronicles 11:27, 1 Chronicles 11:28, Shammoth the Harorite

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 27:8 - Shamhuth

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Shammah the Harodite,.... Called Shammah the Harorite in

1 Chronicles 11:27; by a change of the letters ר "R" and ד "D", which is frequent:

Elika the Harodite; or who was of Harod, as the Targum; these both were from one place: mention is made of the well of Harod, Judges 7:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 23:25. Shammah the Harodite — There are several varieties in the names of the following shalishim; which may be seen by comparing these verses with 1 Chronicles 11:27.
