Mereka bersenjatakan panah, dan sanggup melontarkan batu dan menembakkan anak-anak panah dari busur dengan tangan kanan atau tangan kiri. Mereka itu dari saudara-saudara sesuku Saul, dari orang Benyamin:
Lagipun mereka itu bersenjatakan busur panah dan dapat mengali-ali batu dengan tangan kiri kanan dan pandai memanahkan anak panah, maka mereka itupun dari pada segala saudara Saul, yaitu dari pada suku Benyamin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They were armed with bows,.... Much used in war in those times:
and could use both the right hand and the left, in hurling stones, and shooting arrows out of a bow; they were ambidextrous; who could sling stones, or shoot arrows, with either, which was no small advantage to them:
even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin; they were of the tribe of Benjamin, of which Saul was, and so his brethren; and they might be, at least some of them, his relations and kinsmen; who observing the unreasonableness of Saul's enmity to David, and detesting his cruelty, and sensible of the innocence of David, and of the service he had done his country; and perhaps not being ignorant of his divine right and title to the kingdom, went over to him, to comfort, strengthen, and assist him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The skill of the Benjamites as archers is noted in 1 Chronicles 8:40, and 2 Chronicles 14:8. Their proficiency in using the left hand appears in the narrative of Judges (Judges 3:15, and marginal reference) where their special excellency as slingers is also noticed.
Even of Saul’s brethren - Compare 1 Chronicles 12:29. Even of Saul’s own tribe there were some who separated themselves from his cause, and threw in their lot with David.
