2 Samuel 23:9-12

9Next in command wasH310 EleazarH499 sonH1121 of DodoH17341 the AhohiteH1121H266. As one of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368, he went withH5973 DavidH1732 to tauntH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 who had gatheredH622 for battleH4421 at Pas-dammim. The menH376 of IsraelH3478 retreatedH5927,

10but EleazarH1931 stood his groundH6965 and struckH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH5704H3588 his handH3027 grew wearyH3021 and stuckH1692H3027 toH413 his swordH2719. The LORDH3068 brought aboutH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 thatH1931 dayH3117. Then the troopsH5971 returnedH7725 to himH310, but onlyH389 to plunder the deadH6584.

11And after himH310 was ShammahH8037 sonH1121 of AgeeH89 the HarariteH2043. When the PhilistinesH6430 had banded togetherH622 nearH3896 a fieldH2513H7704 full ofH4392 lentilsH5742, Israel’s troopsH5971 fledH5127 fromH6440 them.

12But Shammah took his standH3320 in the middleH8432 of the fieldH2513, defended itH5337, and struck downH5221 the PhilistinesH6430. So the LORDH3068 brought aboutH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668.
