Heleb, son of Baana from Netophah, was one of King David's thirty mighty warriors. He was a distinguished warrior who served in David's elite force and was counted among the most brave soldiers in Israel's united kingdom. His name is mentioned in the lists of David's heroes in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles.
As one of the thirty heroes, Heleb belonged to the inner circle of David's most trusted and skilled warriors who protected the king and led his army forces.
8These are the names of David's mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahkemonite, chief of the three; he wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed on a single occasion.
