1 Chronicles 11:12 In-Context

10 Now, these were the commanders of David's fighting men, who exercised power with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel they made him king according to the LORD's word to Israel.
11 The first of David's fighting men was Jashobeam, son of Hachmon, the leader of the three. He used his spear to kill 300 men on one occasion.
12 Next in rank to him was Eleazar, another one of the three fighting men. He was the son of Dodo and grandson of Aho.
13 Eleazar was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. There was a field of ripe barley. When the troops fled from the Philistines,
14 they stood in the middle of the field and defended it by killing Philistines. So the LORD saved [them] with an impressive victory.
