Ahiam
One of David's thirty mighty warriors
Ahiam was a warrior from King David's time who belonged to the prestigious group known as "the Thirty" – an elite force of selected soldiers in David's army. He is identified as the son of Shachar the Hararite (in 1 Chronicles) or Sharar the Hararite (in 2 Samuel), where variations in his father's name reflect different textual traditions in the Hebrew manuscripts. Although there are no detailed accounts of Ahiam's individual exploits, his place on the lists of heroes testifies to a significant military career serving David during the establishment of the united kingdom of Israel.
