Contextual Overview

⁸ These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshe'beth a Tah-che'monite; he was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he slew at one time. ⁹ And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea'zar the son of Dodo, son of Aho'hi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew. ¹⁰ He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand cleaved to the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the men returned after him only to strip the slain. ¹¹ And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the Har'arite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the men fled from the Philistines. ¹² But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory. ¹³ And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came about harvest time to David at the cave of Adullam, when a band of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Reph'aim. ¹⁴ David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. ¹⁵ And David said longingly, "O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!" ¹⁶ Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD, ¹⁷ and said, "Far be it from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

Bible Verse Review

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.
