About Elzabad
Elzabad is mentioned in the list of Gadite warriors who joined David at Ziklag when he was seeking refuge from King Saul (1Ch.12.12). He is described as one of the mighty men, indicating his strength and skill in battle. The Gadites were known for their bravery and military prowess, and Elzabad's presence among David's supporters demonstrates the loyalty and support he offered to David during his time of exile.

His inclusion in the list of David's mighty men highlights the diverse group of warriors from various tribes who united under David's leadership and played a significant role in his rise to power as king of Israel.
