1 Chronicles 11:1-14

All Israel  came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.  Even previously when Saul was king, you were leading Israel out to battle and bringing us back. The LORD your God also said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will be ruler over my people Israel.’ ” So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the LORD’s presence, and they anointed David king over Israel, in keeping with the LORD’s word through Samuel.  David  and all Israel marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); the Jebusites who inhabited the land were there.  The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Yet David did capture the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. David said, “Whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will become chief commander.” Joab  son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became the chief. Then David took up residence in the stronghold; therefore, it was called the city of David. He built up the city all the way around, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding parts, and Joab restored the rest of the city. David steadily grew more powerful,  and the LORD of Armies was with him. The following were the chiefs of David’s warriors who, together with all Israel, strongly supported him in his reign to make him king according to the LORD’s word about Israel.  This  is the list of David’s warriors: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief  of the Thirty;  he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time. After him, Eleazar son of Dodo  the Ahohite was one of the three warriors. He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines had gathered there for battle. There was a portion of a field full of barley, where the troops had fled from the Philistines.  But Eleazar and David  took their stand in the middle of the field and defended it. They killed the Philistines, and the LORD gave them a great victory.
