David was surrounded by brave men. Here are a few things said about them: They had singleness of purpose, they were seasoned troops, equipped for battle, they bore shield and spear, they were mighty in valor, they were expressly named to come and make David king, they were men famous in their father's houses, they were armed with all the weapons of war.
He had his 3 nephews, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel (what was their mother Zeruiah like??) who became numbered in the 30 of his mighty men.
These men trickled in one by one, day after day until there was a mighty army, like an army of God. These men were not drafted. They made their own decision to be there. This was a volunteer army when it wasn't safe to be joined to David. God uses men like these.
