104. Samuel 23.8-23 <Nameless Warriors>
Among famous warriors of David¡¯s army, the mightiest were Joab, Benaiah, Abishai and a few more of others. These warriors held important positions in the army and were honored of commanding over numerous soldiers. It seems obvious that these men deserved the glory of heaven, as there are evidences to be found of their loyalty towards Israel and the kingdom of heaven. However, regardless of their unparalleled positions and ranks privileged to them in Israel, there were those nameless warriors who received even greater honor and glory, according to the Word. While Joab made even David feel uncomfortable with his self-righteousness, putting his fame on top of others¡¯, the three nameless warriors Adino, Eleazar, and Shammah appear as the most honorable and glorious warriors in the scriptures. Although, we see that Joab have been appointed to many key positions in David¡¯s army, from the General to the captain of the king¡¯s bodyguards, and showed equally impressive careers as Abishai and Benaiah, the scriptures do not allow them to have greater honor than the nameless warriors Adino, Eleazar, and Shammah. The nameless warriors are always put before Joab, Abishai and Benaiah in the Holy Bible. Then, why were these three warriors not given the appropriate ranks and positions in the army of David, accordingly as approved by the scriptures? Truly, these are warriors who didn¡¯t receive any spotlights, nor seemed to be appointed as Generals, bodyguards, or even positions as commanding leaders. Was this because these warriors did not have the political mind sets that of Joab who was sensitive about his status? While this may be one possibility, there were greater chances that they might have been the firsts to be martyred in the fiercest battles, overturning all obstacles into victories despite the dire situations they might have undergone, as they were the most loyal of all the soldiers. The loyal ones are not afraid to lose their lives, and they are the firsts to die. More than we wish for ranks, positions and honors this world can ever give, I hope that we are counted by God as the people who gave our lives for Him and His kingdom, so that we may have eternal glory and honor given by God Himself. Even though people do not recognize us for what we do for Jesus, as Maria who broke her alabaster and gave everything she had for Jesus, was not recognized by the people, we can be satisfied fully for we would receive the glory and honor of heaven as we enter His Kingdom.
