27:5 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. Benaiah was also one of David’s “mighty men,” as were Asahel (I Chronicles 27:7), Abiezer (I Chronicles 27:12), Maharai (I Chronicles 27:13), Benaiah (I Chronicles 27:14) and Heldai (I Chronicles 27:15). See I Chronicles 11:24,26,28,30-31. David had appointed each of these men to be head over one of the twelve courses. Another, Dodai (I Chronicles 27:4) was the father of Eleazar, one of the three mightiest of David’s mighty men (I Chronicles 11:12).
