| Summary: | This paper argues that Jesus intentionally evoked the pattern of King David's kingdom by selecting Peter, James, and John to form his inner circle. Jesus' performative actions in establishing this entourage drew supportive attention to his messianic identity as the Son of David. One of the distinguishing characteristics of King David's was his use of three mighty men: Josheb-Basshebeth (Jashobeam), Eleazar, Shammah. These three mighty men formed a distinct group within David's hierarchy of command and were known as "the Three." They were distinguished by zeal, great victories, and loyalty—features similar to Jesus' own disciples. |
