1 Chronicles 11:38 stands as one entry in the Chronicles lists of names and family lines that preserve God's people in detailed record. The line of Judah is preserved with special care because Christ came through that tribe. In context, chapters 10-12 record the work of David and the division of his armies, paralleling the account in Samuel apart from genealogies. That record shows David's virtues and mistakes together with God's mercy and guidance. The verse names two men counted among David's mighty men, whose true might lay in crying to God in battle and putting their trust in Him. Beyond its place in the list of names, the verse itself is given no further explanation.
