1 Chronicles 11:14 In-Context

12 And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.

13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had come together for the fight, near a bit of land full of barley; and the people went in flight before the Philistines.

14 And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.

15 And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

16 At that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
