He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.

These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families.

When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh.

David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.David’s two wives had been captured— Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek,“ Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him,and David inquired of the Lord,“ Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”“ Pursue them,” he answered.“ You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind.Two hundred of them were too exhausted to cross the valley, but David and the other four hundred continued the pursuit.They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David. They gave him water to drink and food to eat—part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.David asked him,“ Who do you belong to? Where do you come from?” He said,“ I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago.We raided the Negev of the Kerethites, some territory belonging to Judah and the Negev of Caleb. And we burned Ziklag.”David asked him,“ Can you lead me down to this raiding party?” He answered,“ Swear to me before God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to them.”He led David down, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking and reveling because of the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah.David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day, and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.

These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors— they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised—
