8 And when David H1732 heard H8085 of it, he sent H7971 Joab, H3097 and all the host H6635 of the mighty men. H1368
These be the names H8034 of the mighty men H1368 whom David H1732 had: The Tachmonite H8461 that sat H3427 in the seat, H7675 H3429 chief H7218 among the captains; H7991 the same was Adino H5722 the Eznite: H6112 he lift up his spear against eight H8083 hundred, H3967 whom he slew H2491 at one H259 time. H6471 And after H310 him was Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Dodo H1734 the Ahohite, H266 one of the three H7969 mighty men H1368 with David, H1732 when they defied H2778 the Philistines H6430 that were there gathered together H622 to battle, H4421 and the men H376 of Israel H3478 were gone away: H5927 He arose, H6965 and smote H5221 the Philistines H6430 until H3588 his hand H3027 was weary, H3021 and his hand H3027 clave H1692 unto the sword: H2719 and the LORD H3068 wrought H6213 a great H1419 victory H8668 that day; H3117 and the people H5971 returned H7725 after H310 him only to spoil. H6584 And after H310 him was Shammah H8048 the son H1121 of Agee H89 the Hararite. H2043 And the Philistines H6430 were gathered together H622 into a troop, H2416 where was a piece H2513 of ground H7704 full H4392 of lentiles: H5742 and the people H5971 fled H5127 from H6440 the Philistines. H6430 But he stood H3320 in the midst H8432 of the ground, H2513 and defended H5337 it, and slew H5221 the Philistines: H6430 and the LORD H3068 wrought H6213 a great H1419 victory. H8668 And three H7969 H7970 of the thirty H7970 chief H7218 went down, H3381 and came H935 to David H1732 in the harvest time H7105 unto the cave H4631 of Adullam: H5725 and the troop H2416 of the Philistines H6430 pitched H2583 in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497 And David H1732 was then in an hold, H4686 and the garrison H4673 of the Philistines H6430 was then in Bethlehem. H1035 And David H1732 longed, H183 and said, H559 Oh that one would give me drink H8248 of the water H4325 of the well H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 which is by the gate! H8179 And the three H7969 mighty men H1368 brake through H1234 the host H4264 of the Philistines, H6430 and drew H7579 water H4325 out of the well H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 that was by the gate, H8179 and took H5375 it, and brought H935 it to David: H1732 nevertheless he would H14 not drink H8354 thereof, but poured it out H5258 unto the LORD. H3068 And he said, H559 Be it far H2486 from me, O LORD, H3068 that I should do H6213 this: is not this the blood H1818 of the men H582 that went H1980 in jeopardy of their lives? H5315 therefore he would H14 not drink H8354 it. These things did H6213 these three H7969 mighty men. H1368 And Abishai, H52 the brother H251 of Joab, H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah, H6870 was chief H7218 among three. H7992 And he lifted up H5782 his spear H2595 against three H7969 hundred, H3967 and slew H2491 them, and had the name H8034 among three. H7969 Was he not most honourable H3513 of three? H7969 therefore he was their captain: H8269 howbeit he attained H935 not unto the first three. H7969 And Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada, H3077 the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man, H376 H381 of Kabzeel, H6909 who had done many H7227 acts, H6467 he slew H5221 two H8147 lionlike men H739 of Moab: H4124 he went down H3381 also and slew H5221 a lion H738 in the midst H8432 of a pit H953 in time H3117 of snow: H7950 And he slew H2026 an Egyptian, H4713 a goodly H4758 man: H376 and the Egyptian H4713 had a spear H2595 in his hand; H3027 but he went down H3381 to him with a staff, H7626 and plucked H1497 the spear H2595 out of the Egyptian's H4713 hand, H3027 and slew H5221 him with his own spear. H2595 These things did H6213 Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada, H3077 and had the name H8034 among three H7969 mighty men. H1368 He was more honourable H3513 than the thirty, H7970 but he attained H935 not to the first three. H7969 And David H1732 set H7760 him over his guard. H4928 Asahel H6214 the brother H251 of Joab H3097 was one of the thirty; H7970 Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Dodo H1734 of Bethlehem, H1035 Shammah H8048 the Harodite, H2733 Elika H470 the Harodite, H2733 Helez H2503 the Paltite, H6407 Ira H5896 the son H1121 of Ikkesh H6142 the Tekoite, H8621 Abiezer H44 the Anethothite, H6069 Mebunnai H4012 the Hushathite, H2843 Zalmon H6756 the Ahohite, H266 Maharai H4121 the Netophathite, H5200 Heleb H2460 the son H1121 of Baanah, H1196 a Netophathite, H5200 Ittai H863 the son H1121 of Ribai H7380 out of Gibeah H1390 of the children H1121 of Benjamin, H1144 Benaiah H1141 the Pirathonite, H6553 Hiddai H1914 of the brooks H5158 of Gaash, H1608 Abialbon H45 the Arbathite, H6164 Azmaveth H5820 the Barhumite, H1273 Eliahba H455 the Shaalbonite, H8170 of the sons H1121 of Jashen, H3464 Jonathan, H3083 Shammah H8048 the Hararite, H2043 Ahiam H279 the son H1121 of Sharar H8325 the Hararite, H2043 Eliphelet H467 the son H1121 of Ahasbai, H308 the son H1121 of the Maachathite, H4602 Eliam H463 the son H1121 of Ahithophel H302 the Gilonite, H1526 Hezrai H2695 the Carmelite, H3761 Paarai H6474 the Arbite, H701 Igal H3008 the son H1121 of Nathan H5416 of Zobah, H6678 Bani H1137 the Gadite, H1425 Zelek H6768 the Ammonite, H5984 Naharai H5171 the Beerothite, H886 armourbearer H5375 H3627 to Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah, H6870 Ira H5896 an Ithrite, H3505 Gareb H1619 an Ithrite, H3505 Uriah H223 the Hittite: H2850 thirty H7970 and seven H7651 in all.
These also are the chief H7218 of the mighty men H1368 whom David H1732 had, who strengthened H2388 themselves with him in his kingdom, H4438 and with all Israel, H3478 to make him king, H4427 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 concerning Israel. H3478 And this is the number H4557 of the mighty men H1368 whom David H1732 had; Jashobeam, H3434 an Hachmonite, H2453 the chief H7218 of the captains: H7991 H7970 he lifted up H5782 his spear H2595 against three H7969 hundred H3967 slain H2491 by him at one H259 time. H6471 And after H310 him was Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Dodo, H1734 the Ahohite, H266 who was one of the three H7969 mighties. H1368 He was with David H1732 at Pasdammim, H6450 and there the Philistines H6430 were gathered together H622 to battle, H4421 where was a parcel H2513 of ground H7704 full H4392 of barley; H8184 and the people H5971 fled H5127 from before H6440 the Philistines. H6430 And they set H3320 themselves in the midst H8432 of that parcel, H2513 and delivered H5337 it, and slew H5221 the Philistines; H6430 and the LORD H3068 saved H3467 them by a great H1419 deliverance. H8668 Now three H7969 of the thirty H7970 captains H7218 went down H3381 to the rock H6697 to David, H1732 into the cave H4631 of Adullam; H5725 and the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 encamped H2583 in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497 And David H1732 was then in the hold, H4686 and the Philistines' H6430 garrison H5333 was then at Bethlehem. H1035 And David H1732 longed, H183 and said, H559 Oh that one would give me drink H8248 of the water H4325 of the well H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 that is at the gate! H8179 And the three H7969 brake through H1234 the host H4264 of the Philistines, H6430 and drew H7579 water H4325 out of the well H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 that was by the gate, H8179 and took H5375 it, and brought H935 it to David: H1732 but David H1732 would H14 not drink H8354 of it, but poured it out H5258 to the LORD, H3068 And said, H559 My God H430 forbid H2486 it me, that I should do H6213 this thing: H2063 shall I drink H8354 the blood H1818 of these men H582 that have put their lives in jeopardy? H5315 for with the jeopardy of their lives H5315 they brought H935 it. Therefore he would H14 not drink H8354 it. These things did H6213 these three H7969 mightiest. H1368 And Abishai H52 the brother H251 of Joab, H3097 he was chief H7218 of the three: H7969 for lifting up H5782 his spear H2595 against three H7969 hundred, H3967 he slew H2491 them, and had a name H8034 among the three. H7969 Of the three, H7969 he was more honourable H3513 than the two; H8147 for he was their captain: H8269 howbeit he attained H935 not to the first three. H7969 Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada, H3077 the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man H376 of Kabzeel, H6909 who had done many H7227 acts; H6467 he slew H5221 two H8147 lionlike men H739 of Moab: H4124 also he went down H3381 and slew H5221 a lion H738 in H8432 a pit H953 in a snowy H7950 day. H3117 And he slew H5221 an Egyptian, H4713 a man H376 of great stature, H4060 five H2568 cubits H520 high; and in the Egyptian's H4713 hand H3027 was a spear H2595 like a weaver's H707 beam; H4500 and he went down H3381 to him with a staff, H7626 and plucked H1497 the spear H2595 out of the Egyptian's H4713 hand, H3027 and slew H2026 him with his own spear. H2595 These things did H6213 Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada, H3077 and had the name H8034 among the three H7969 mighties. H1368 Behold, H2009 he was honourable H3513 among the thirty, H7970 but attained H935 not to the first three: H7969 and David H1732 set H7760 him over his guard. H4928 Also the valiant men H1368 of the armies H2428 were, Asahel H6214 the brother H251 of Joab, H3097 Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Dodo H1734 of Bethlehem, H1035 Shammoth H8054 the Harorite, H2033 Helez H2503 the Pelonite, H6397 Ira H5896 the son H1121 of Ikkesh H6142 the Tekoite, H8621 Abiezer H44 the Antothite, H6069 Sibbecai H5444 the Hushathite, H2843 Ilai H5866 the Ahohite, H266 Maharai H4121 the Netophathite, H5200 Heled H2466 the son H1121 of Baanah H1196 the Netophathite, H5200 Ithai H863 the son H1121 of Ribai H7380 of Gibeah, H1390 that pertained to the children H1121 of Benjamin, H1144 Benaiah H1141 the Pirathonite, H6553 Hurai H2360 of the brooks H5158 of Gaash, H1608 Abiel H22 the Arbathite, H6164 Azmaveth H5820 the Baharumite, H978 Eliahba H455 the Shaalbonite, H8170 The sons H1121 of Hashem H2044 the Gizonite, H1493 Jonathan H3129 the son H1121 of Shage H7681 the Hararite, H2043 Ahiam H279 the son H1121 of Sacar H7940 the Hararite, H2043 Eliphal H465 the son H1121 of Ur, H218 Hepher H2660 the Mecherathite, H4382 Ahijah H281 the Pelonite, H6397 Hezro H2695 the Carmelite, H3761 Naarai H5293 the son H1121 of Ezbai, H229 Joel H3100 the brother H251 of Nathan, H5416 Mibhar H4006 the son H1121 of Haggeri, H1905 Zelek H6768 the Ammonite, H5984 Naharai H5171 the Berothite, H1307 the armourbearer H5375 H3627 of Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah, H6870 Ira H5896 the Ithrite, H3505 Gareb H1619 the Ithrite, H3505 Uriah H223 the Hittite, H2850 Zabad H2066 the son H1121 of Ahlai, H304 Adina H5721 the son H1121 of Shiza H7877 the Reubenite, H7206 a captain H7218 of the Reubenites, H7206 and thirty H7970 with him, Hanan H2605 the son H1121 of Maachah, H4601 and Joshaphat H3146 the Mithnite, H4981 Uzzia H5814 the Ashterathite, H6254 Shama H8091 and Jehiel H3273 the sons H1121 of Hothan H2369 the Aroerite, H6200 Jediael H3043 the son H1121 of Shimri, H8113 and Joha H3109 his brother, H251 the Tizite, H8491 Eliel H447 the Mahavite, H4233 and Jeribai, H3403 and Joshaviah, H3145 the sons H1121 of Elnaam, H493 and Ithmah H3495 the Moabite, H4125 Eliel, H447 and Obed, H5744 and Jasiel H3300 the Mesobaite.

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 19 Keil & Delitzsch Commentary
The same phenomena are met with in the detailed account of the Ammonite-Syriac war, 1 Chronicles 19:1-2; 1 Chronicles 20:3, as compared with 2 Sam 10:1-11:1, and 2 Samuel 12:26-31. In 1 Chronicles 19:1 the omission of the name הנוּן after בּנו is merely an oversight, as the omission of the name נחשׁ in 2 Samuel 10:1 also is. In 1 Chronicles 19:3 there is no need to alter וגו ולהפך לחקר into וגו וּלרגּלהּ את־העיר חקר , 2 Samuel 10:3, although the expression in Samuel is more precise. If the actual words of the original document are given in Samuel, the author of the Chronicle has made the thought more general: “to search and to overthrow, and to spy out the land.” Perhaps, however, the terms made use of in the original document were not so exact and precise as those of the book of Samuel. In 1 Chronicles 19:6, 1 Chronicles 19:7, at least, the divergence from 2 Samuel 10:16 cannot be explained otherwise than by supposing that in neither of the narratives is the text of the original document exactly and perfectly reproduced. For a further discussion of the differences, see on 2 Samuel 10:6. The special statement as to the place where the mercenaries encamped, and the Ammonites gathered themselves together from out their cities (1 Chronicles 19:7), is wanting in 2nd Samuel. The city Medeba, which, according to Joshua 13:16, was assigned to the tribe of Reuben, lay about two hours southeast from Heshbon, and still exists as ruins, which retain the ancient name Medaba (see on Numbers 21:30). In 1 Chronicles 19:9, העיר פּתח , “outside the city” (i.e., the capital Rabbah), more correct or exact than השּׁער פּתח (2 Samuel 10:8). On אליהם ויּבא , as compared with חלאמה ויּבא (2 Samuel 10:17), cf. the discussion on 2 Samuel 10:16-17.
