November 30, 2012 - 2 Samuel 23   

How honored you must have been to have an ancestor named as one of the thirty-seven named with David.  Not everyone can be a descendant of David, but I imagine being from one of those thirty would be great as well. 

Joab’s brother and his armor bearer make the list, but not Joab himself, even though he had a larger role in many of the things that happened than these other men.  This is almost like King Arthur and his knights of the round table.  There are the ones that are higher than the rest, like Lancelot, and then the others, even though the idea of the round table is that there is no rank, there is always a rank.  These were David’s knights, his warriors.
