2 Samuel 23:8-39
First three mighty men of David: Josheb-Basshebeth, Eleazar and Shammah.
Another three mighty men , leader is Abishai, and Benaiah.
The Lord brought about a great victory.
And there are thirty mighty men in troop of David. In 37 includes Urih the Hittite.
The exploits of "The Three" against the Philistines are followed by an incident from the campaign described in 5:17-25
Then come the exploits of two leaders (Abishai, leader of "The Thirty" and Banaiah, leader of the Philistine mercenaries), followed by a list of the special guard.
Why?
The group was probably formed at Ziklag, and helped to put David on the throne. More than 30 are listed - those killed(e.g. Asahel, Uriah) were replaced by others
Bethlehem was David's home town.
The victory in battle David got the help from those mighty men.
David walked on the way of the Lord, so the blessing with him and God arranged many mighty men to help him. God destroy the enemy already!
How?
Victory is belong to the Lord! God is the fountain of blessing and peace!
