A Tale of Two Heroes
Scholars explain that this verse in Chronicles is likely a condensed or corrupted version of the account in 2 Samuel 23. A significant portion of the text appears to be missing, which originally detailed two separate events: one involving the hero Eleazar at Pas-dammim, and another involving the hero Shammah defending a plot of ground. The Chronicles text seems to merge these two distinct stories.
