2 Samuel 23:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 But godless men[a] are all like thorns that are thrown away;
for they cannot be taken with the hand;
7 but the man who touches them
arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
and they are utterly consumed with fire.”[b]
David’s Mighty Men
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshe′beth a Tah-che′monite; he was chief of the three;[c] he wielded his spear[d] against eight hundred whom he slew at one time.
