Contextual Overview
1 These are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while David was still hidden because of Saul the son of Kish. They were among the strong men who helped him in war. 2 They fought with the bow. They could also throw stones or shoot arrows with both the right and left hand. They were Saul's brothers from Benjamin. 3 The leader was Ahiezer, then Joash. Both of them were sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite. And there were Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, Beracah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite. He was a strong man among the thirty, and a leader over them. There were Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite, 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite. 6 There were Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, Jashobeam, the Korahites. 7 And there were Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 8 Powerful soldiers came from the Gadites to David in the strong-place in the desert. They had been taught how to fight in war, and could use the battle-covering and spear. Their faces were like the faces of lions. And they were as fast as the deer on the mountains. 9 Ezer was the first. Obadiah was the second. Eliab was the third. 10 Mishmannah was the fourth. Jeremiah was the fifth.
