Context: • Shammah, Son of Agee the Hararite: Shammah is listed as one of David's mighty warriors, known for his valor and bravery. In 2 Samuel 23:11-12, Shammah is noted for his defense of a field of lentils against the Philistines, where he stood his ground and achieved a significant victory for Israel. The passage highlights his courage and the LORD's deliverance through his actions: "And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines. But he took his stand in the middle of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory" (2 Samuel 23:11-12, BSB). • Shammah, Son of Reuel: Another individual named Shammah is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau's descendants. He is identified as a son of Reuel, the son of Esau, and a chief among the Edomites (Genesis 36:13, 17; 1 Chronicles 1:37). This Shammah is part of the lineage that highlights the spread and influence of Esau's family. • Shammah, Brother of David: In 1 Samuel 16:9 and 1 Samuel 17:13, Shammah is mentioned as one of David's older brothers.
