The Rest of David's Mighty Men

These are some of David's most mighty men, a list started in previous posts.  Because Blogger only allows 20 labels per post, these names have been placed on a separate page:

(2 Samuel 23:33) Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, (34) Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, (35) Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, (36) Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, (37) Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, (38) Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, (39) Uriah the Hittite, thirty-seven in all.

Only 36 mighty men were listed, but their general was Joab, who most certainly would have been counted as one of David's most mighty men, and would bring the number to 37, two groups of three, then thirty, and Joab their general.
