Have you noticed that any engagement in the royal family is in honor of the Queen of England, Elizabeth. In like manner, whatever you and I do should be in honor of the King we serve. The Bible tells us about David’s mighty men, three in particular: Josheb Basshebeth the Tachemonite, Adino the Eznite and Eleazar the Ahohite. From the text, I believe these men were mentioned in history because they did something that stood them out from David’s other mighty men. They had traits that inspired and caught the attention of the writer to include them in the text. Beloved we are not ordinary people, but extra-ordinary people with Holy Ghost power to accomplish Gods purposes on this earth. 2 Samuel 23:9-12 tells us the extra-ordinary exploits of David’s elite mighty men; three in particular. Not forgetting there were others though.
- Adino the Eznite: he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
-
Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away: He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
-
Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
