SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:9
Después de éste fue Eleazar, hijo de Dodo de Ahohi, entre de los tres valientes que estaban con David, cuando desafiaron a los filisteos que se habían juntado allí a la batalla, y subieron los de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 23:9
Verse 9. When they defied the Philistines that were there gathered] This is supposed to refer to the war in which David slew Goliath.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite , etc.] Or the son of Ahohi, perhaps the same with Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin, ( 1 Chronicles 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 ( 1 Chronicles 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-39 - David once earnestly longed for the water at the well of Bethlehem. I seems to be an instance of weakness. He was thirsty; with the water of that well he had often refreshed himself when a youth, and it wa without due thought that he desired it. Were his valiant men so forwar to expose themselves, upon the least hint of their prince's mind, an so eager to please him, and shall not we long to approve ourselves to our Lord Jesus, by ready compliance with his will, as shown us by his word, Spirit, and providence? But David poured out the water as drink-offering to the Lord. Thus he would cross his own foolish fancy and punish himself for indulging it, and show that he had sobe thoughts to correct his rash ones, and knew how to deny himself. Di David look upon that water as very precious which was got at the hazar of these men's blood, and shall not we much more value those benefit for purchasing which our blessed Saviour shed his blood? Let all bewar of neglecting so great salvation __________________________________________________________________
