2 Samuel 20–21, 23:8-23 | 1 Chronicles 20:4-8, 11:10-25

In these passages we see a recounting of the mighty men of David’s army, who each did great feats of valor against the enemies of Israel. There is also a short rebellion against David, led by a Benjamite named Sheba, and David is continually at war with the Philistines throughout the rest of his life. David is growing old, and his own generals tell him that it is time for him to stay home from the many battles they are fighting.
