Made by God, the youngest son of Zeruiah, David's sister. He was celebrated for his swiftness of foot. When fighting against Ish-bosheth at Gibeon, in the army of his brother Joab, he was put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the field of battle ( 2 Samuel 2:18,19 ). He is mentioned among David's thirty mighty men ( 2 Samuel 23:24 ; 1 Chronicles 11:26 ). Others of the same name are mentioned ( 2 Chronicles 17:8 ; 31:13 ; Ezra 10:15 ).
