Among David's mighty warriors were: 

Asahel: David's nephew, the son of David's sister Zeruiah.

 
Sibbecai (Sibbechai/Mebunnai): killed Saph (Sippai) the gigantic Philistine. Years earlier, David killed and beheaded Goliath, a gigantic  Philistine.

Ilai: a relative of Eleazar the Ahohite. Eleazar fought the Philistines so relentlessly that Eleazar's hand clung to his sword.

Naharai: the armor-bearer for Joab. Joab was Asahel's brother and David's nephew and army commander.
