He Refused to Retreat: Eleazar – David's Mightiest Warrior | 2 Samuel 23

He fought alone. Every soldier fled. His hand locked to the sword — and God gave him a victory no army could win. This is the untold story of Eleazar, one of David's Three Mighty Warriors, and the Battle of Pas Dammim. (2 Samuel 23 - 9-10) Most people have walked past his name a dozen times in their Bibles without stopping. Today at Whisper of Scrolls, we stop. We go deep into one of the most extraordinary acts of courage and faith in all of Scripture — the story of Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, the warrior whose hand froze to his sword. If you have ever felt alone on your battlefield — outnumbered, abandoned, on the edge of giving up — this story was preserved for you. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Introduction: The Warrior History Forgot 3:27 — The Brutal World Eleazar Was Born Into 4:30 — David and the Formation of His Mighty Men 5:40 — Who Were the Three?
