2Sa 23:24-39 | MHM | STEP | v. 24-39 : Finally, the list continues with thirty-one other notable warriors. These men came from different parts of Israel and were chosen for their wisdom and bravery. Some had important roles in David’s army and government. The surnames likely come from their hometowns. One of the men was the son of Ahithophel, a famous counselor. Uriah the Hittite is also listed, reminding us of David’s sin in his story. Joab, David’s general, is not named here, possibly because he was above this rank or because of his violent actions against David’s friends. These mighty men, inspired by David’s example and God’s help, fought Israel’s battles and are honored for their service. In the New Testament, Christ’s followers are similarly honored as His warriors, and their names are written in heaven (2 Samuel 23:24-39; Revelation 21:14 ).
