1 Chronicles 11
This commentary provides a useful summary of 1 and 2 Chronicles as "an executive summary of God’s covenant with David, and how things played out afterward".
We first learn of David's Mighty Warriors in 2 Samuel 23. Here in 1 Chronicles we get added details about the importance of these men as these men gave David and his kingship "strong support".
We all need such strong support - men specifically need this from other men.
I have gained much through Men's Fraternity (later versions of this study found here as 33 The Series).

My Prayer: Lord Jesus - You are an awesome God who has perfectly modeled manhood for me so that I can live as You intend for me. Thank You that You provide also Your Word, the Holy Spirit, and other men who can provide strong support for me. I am not worthy of such love and support. I often fail to live up to being who You intend for me. I worry and I often fail to serve when the opportunities arise. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised— this is the list of David’s mighty warriors[.] v10-11
