Context — The Mighty Men Join David at Ziklag
8Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
9Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,1 Chronicles 12:10 Summary
This verse, 1 Chronicles 12:10, is talking about two men, Mishmannah and Jeremiah, who were part of a group of brave and strong warriors who joined David's side. They were important to David and helped him in his battles, just like the men who helped Jesus in his ministry, as seen in Mark 3:16-19. These men were loyal and trusted David, and we can learn from their example by being loyal and trusting God, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37:3-7. By trusting God, we can be brave and strong, just like Mishmannah and Jeremiah, and fulfill the plans God has for us, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11.
