Jashen, also known as Hashem, was the father of some of David's mighty men.
Jashen, also called Hashem the Gizonite in 1 Chronicles 11:34, was the father of some of David's mighty warriors listed in 2 Samuel 23:32. The parallel lists in Samuel and Chronicles show some textual variation, and the exact number of sons attributed to Jashen/Hashem differs between accounts. Like other fathers of the mighty men, Jashen is commemorated primarily through the military distinction achieved by his sons in David's service.
