8. He built up the city on all sides, from the Millo all the way around, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9. David became ever more powerful, for the Lord of hosts was with him.

10. These were David’s chief warriors who, together with all Israel, supported him in his reign in order to make him king, according to the Lord’s word concerning Israel.

11. Here is the list of David’s warriors:Ishbaal, the son of Hachamoni, chief of the Three. He brandished his spear over three hundred, whom he had slain in a single encounter.

12. Next to him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors.

13. He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had massed for battle. There was a plot of land full of barley. The people were fleeing before the Philistines,

14. but he took his stand in the middle of the plot, kept it safe, and cut down the Philistines. Thus the Lord brought about a great victory.
