Who he was

Jashen, also referred to as Hashem, is mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:32 and 1 Chronicles 11:34 as the father of some of David's mighty men. The mighty men were a group of skilled warriors who served under King David and played a significant role in his military campaigns and the establishment of his kingdom. The sons of Jashen are listed among these mighty men, indicating that they were valiant and capable soldiers. The text does not provide any further details about Jashen's life. The variation in the name between "Jashen" and "Hashem" may be due to textual differences or scribal errors in the transmission of the biblical text.
