Context of 1 Chronicles 11:13
11This is the list of David’s warriors: Jashobeam, a Hacmonite, was head of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear in a single battle. 12Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. He was one of the three elite warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when the Philistines assembled there for battle. In an area of the field that was full of barley, the army retreated before the Philistines, 14but then they made a stand in the middle of that area. They defended it and defeated the Philistines; the Lord gave them a great victory. 15Three of the thirty leaders went down to David at the rocky cliff at the cave of Adullam, while a Philistine force was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-47Verses 10-47 An account is given of David's worthies, the great men who served him.
