1 passage

2 Samuel 23:11-12

Stands Alone in Lentil Field, Defeats Philistines

11After him came Shammah, son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines gathered in a field full of lentils, which are small beans people eat. Israel's men ran away from them.

And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.

12But Shammah stood in the middle of that field. He kept it safe and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD won a great victory.

But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
