Men who were mighty.
Nimrod was the first on earth to be a mighty man. (Genesis 10:8)
King David's Mighty Men
David's mighty men were divided the three and the thirty.
David's mighty men did not support Adonijah when he was exalting himself, saying "I will be king," during King David's old age. Neither did Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Shimei, Rei, or Nathan the prophet.
