Azmaveth the Baharumite
Azmaveth is listed among David's mighty warriors, a group of elite soldiers who played a crucial role in establishing David's kingdom. The name Azmaveth means "strong as death," which may reflect his prowess in battle. Bahurim, his place of origin, is a village in the territory of Benjamin, near Jerusalem. This location is significant as it indicates that David's support extended beyond his own tribe of Judah, encompassing other tribes of Israel, including Benjamin. Bahurim is also mentioned in the context of David's flight from Absalom (2 Samuel 16:5), suggesting it was a place of strategic importance. The inclusion of a Baharumite among David's warriors highlights the unity and diversity within David's forces, foreshadowing the eventual unification of Israel under his rule.

Eliahba the Shaalbonite
Eliahba is another of David's mighty men, and his name means "God hides" or "God conceals." This could imply divine protection or favor, which would be fitting for a warrior in David's service. Shaalbon, his hometown, is likely located in the region of Dan or Ephraim, though its exact location is uncertain. The mention of Shaalbon connects Eliahba to the broader narrative of Israel's tribal territories and their contributions to David's reign. The presence of a Shaalbonite in David's ranks underscores the widespread support David received from various regions, reflecting the fulfillment of God's promise to establish David's kingdom. This unity among the tribes under David's leadership can be seen as a type of the unity found in Christ's spiritual kingdom, where believers from diverse backgrounds are united in faith.

Samuel has the transposed form, "Barhumite."
