2 Samuel 23:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand. ⁷ And if a man wants to touch them, he must use an iron instrument or the shaft of a spear; then they are consumed entirely with fire on the spot.”

David’s Faithful Soldiers

⁸ These are the names of the mighty warriors who were David’s: Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite was chief of three officers; first Adino, whose spear was against eight hundred slain on one occurrence.
