Verse 9
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite ,.... Or the son of Ahohi, perhaps the same with Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin, 1 Chronicles 8:4 ; this Eleazar was the next to the Tachmonite, the second worthy of the first class:
one of the three mighty men with David ; the second of the three valiant men that were with David in his wars, and fought with him, and for him:
when they defied the Philistines ; clapped their hands at them, gloried over them, daring them to come and light them; so did David and his mighty men, as Goliath had defied them before:
that were there gathered together to battle ; at Pasdammim, as appears from 1 Chronicles 11:13 ,
and the men of Israel were gone away ; fled when they saw the Philistines gather together to fight them, notwithstanding they had defied them; and so David, and his three mighty men, were left alone to combat with the Philistines.
