David's Mighty Warriors
David's Mighty Warriors (also known as David's Mighty Men or the Gibborim; ) are a group of 37 men in the Hebrew Bible who fought with King David and are identified in , part of the "supplementary information" added to the Second Book of Samuel in its final four chapters. The International Standard Version calls them "David's special forces". A similar list is given in 1 Chronicles 11:10–47 but with several variations and sixteen more names. The text divides them into "the Three", of which there are three, and "the Thirty", of which there are more than thirty. The text explicitly states that there are 37 individuals in all, but it is unclear whether this refers to The Thirty, which may or may not contain The Three, or the combined total of both groups. The text refers to The Three and The Thirty as though they were both important entities, and not just an arbitrary list of three or 30-plus significant men.

Trial Of The Thirty
The Trial of the Thirty (French: ''Procès des trente'') was a trial in 1894 in Paris, France, aimed at legitimizing the '' lois scélérates'' passed in 1893–94 against the anarchist movement and restricting press freedom by proving the existence of an effective association between anarchists. Lasting from 6 August-31 October in 1894, it put on trial 30 French and foreign alleged anarchists, on a charge of "criminal association" (''association de malfaiteurs''). Jean Maitron, ''Le mouvement anarchiste en France'', Tel Gallimard (first ed. François Maspero, 1975), tome I, chapter VI, "''Le Procès des Trente. Fin d'une époque''", pp.251-261 Held in virtue of the '' lois scélérates'' censoring the press and outlawing apologies for propaganda by the deed, the trial mixed anarchist theorists with common law criminals. Among the defendants were Charles Chatel, Ivan Aguéli, Sébastien Faure, Félix Fénéon, Jean Grave, Louis Armand Matha, Maximilien Luce, Émile Po ...
