Context of 1 Chronicles 11:14

12Next in rank to him was Eleazar, another one of the three fighting men. He was the son of Dodo and grandson of Aho. 13Eleazar was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. There was a field of ripe barley. When the troops fled from the Philistines, they stood in the middle of the field and defended it by killing Philistines. So the Lord saved ⌞them⌟ with an impressive victory. 15Once three of the thirty leading men went down to David’s rock at the cave of Adullam when the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim. 16While David was in the fortified camp, Philistine troops were in Bethlehem.
