12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo , the Ahohite , who was one of the three mighty men . 13 He was with David at Pasdammim when the Philistines were gathered together there to battle , and there was a plot of ground full of barley ; and the people fled before e the Philistines . 14 They took their stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines ; and the Lord saved them by a great victory .

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:10-47
(Read 1 Chronicles 11:10-47)
An account is given of David's worthies, the great men who served him. Yet David reckoned his success, not as from the mighty men that were with him, but from the mighty God, whose presence is all in all. In strengthening him, they strengthened themselves and their own interest, for his advancement was theirs. We shall gain by what we do in our places for the support of the kingdom of the Son of David; and those that are faithful to Him, shall find their names registered much more to their honour, than these are in the records of fame.
