David Becomes King over All Israel4. Jerusalem 10. David's Mighty Men Zelek the Ammonite The mention of Zelek as an Ammonite is significant, as the Ammonites were often adversaries of Israel. The inclusion of Zelek among David's mighty warriors highlights the unifying power of David's leadership and the inclusivity of God's kingdom. The Hebrew root for Ammonite, "עַמּוֹנִי" (Ammoni), reflects a people descended from Lot, emphasizing the complex relationships between Israel and its neighbors. Zelek's presence in David's ranks suggests a breaking down of ethnic barriers and a foreshadowing of the New Testament's message of unity in Christ. Naharai the Beerothite the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah Berothite.--Of Beeroth in Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). Verse 39. - Zelek the Ammonite,... the Berothite.
