1 Chronicles 11:42Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a chief of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,
The setting
Jerusalem, ~970 BC. The chronicler carefully records David's mighty warriors by name, preserving their legacy for future generations in what is now Israel.
The emotion here: reverent duty to preserve every faithful name
The original word
rōʾš (רֹאשׁ) — head, chief, leader of his tribal unit
Why it matters
Adina led thirty warriors from the tribe of Reuben, east of the Jordan River
Read with care
What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 11:42
This man led THIRTY warriors - he wasn't just a fighter, he was a commander
Common misconceptionPeople skip these lists as boring genealogies, but they're actually war memorials - every name represents someone who risked everything for David when he was still an outlaw.
