1 Chronicles 11:14 In-Context

12 Next in rank among the Three was Eleazar son of Dodai, a descendant of Ahoah.
13 He was with David when the Philistines gathered for battle at Pas-dammim and attacked the Israelites in a field full of barley. The Israelite army fled,
14 but Eleazar and David held their ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the LORD saved them by giving them a great victory.
15 Once when David was at the rock near the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three (who were among the Thirty—an elite group among David’s fighting men) went down to meet him there.
16 David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem.
