The mention of his lineage emphasizes the importance of family heritage in biblical times. The term "Ahohite" likely refers to his clan or family group, possibly linked to the descendants of Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin. This connection to the tribe of Benjamin is significant, as it highlights the diverse tribal representation in David's army.<p><b>one of the three mighty men</b><br>Eleazar is noted as one of the "three mighty men," a title given to the most elite warriors in David's forces.
