Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:9
Expositions from classic Bible commentators.
John Gill · 2 Samuel 23:9
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,.... Or the son of Ahohi, perhaps the same with Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin, Ch1 8:4; this Eleazar was the next to the Tachmonite, the second worthy of the first class:
one of the three mighty men with David; the second of the three valiant men that were with David in his wars, and fought with him, and for him:
when they defied the Philistines; clapped their hands at them, gloried over them, daring them to come and light them; so did David and his mighty men, as Goliath had defied them before:
that were there gathered together to battle; at Pasdammim, as appears from Ch1 11:13,
and the men of Israel were gone away; fled when they saw the Philistines gather together to fight them, notwithstanding they had defied them; and so David, and his three mighty men, were left alone to combat with the Philistines.
