Dette er de som kom til David i Siklag mens han ennå måtte holde seg borte fra kong Saul. De var medhjelperne hans i krigen. De var dyktige krigere væpnet med buer, og de kunne bruke både høyre og venstre hånd til å slynge steiner. De kunne også skyte piler med buen. De var etterkommere av Benjamin – akkurat som Saul.
