Fascinated with Biblical military history since Sunday school in the 1950s and the story of David and Goliath, Barry Blackstone started in the late 1990s to look into David's military career. It wasn't long before he came upon the "mighty men": those soldiers who God used to help David gain the kingdom (1 Chronicles 11:9-10). Soon his focus switched from David to these "mighty men" and for nearly twenty-five years he has researched and explored who they were and what they did to help David. Very soon into exploring David's own lists of these men (2 Samuel 23 and 1 Chronicles 11-12), all he could find was a name; a warrior David thought important enough to name, but not to elaborate on! It was then he came upon the real blessing of this quarter of a century study, the meaning of these names and their connection to defining who the Christ is. It was then he realized the type David was in the relationship of the Christ as being "...the captain of their salvation ..." (Hebrews 2:10). Join Barry on a lengthy look at David's top 105 "mighty men"; remember, ultimately David had an army of 1,300,000 (2 Samuel 24:9)! What you will find is not just David's mighty men, but what the author has come to believe is one of the greatest portraits of the Christ in the Old Testament.
