2 SAMUEL 23:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.”
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahkemonite — he was chief of the Three — He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time — The listing of David's mighty men begins with Josheb-basshebeth, chief of the Three. His feat: killing eight hundred enemies with his spear. The number is likely hyperbolic but conveys extraordinary prowess.
