Usage: The name Shophak appears in the context of a military leader serving under the king of the Ammonites. He is mentioned in the context of a battle against Israel.

Context: Shophak is identified as the commander of the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, during the reign of King David. He is noted for his involvement in a significant battle against the Israelites. The account of Shophak is found in 1 Chronicles 19:16-18, where he leads the forces of Hadadezer in a confrontation with David's army. The passage describes how Shophak and his forces were defeated by the Israelites, resulting in a decisive victory for David. This event is part of the broader narrative of David's military campaigns and his consolidation of power in the region.

1 Chronicles 19:16-18 (BSB): "When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring out the Arameans beyond the Euphrates, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them. When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and advanced against them. David formed his forces against the Arameans in battle formation, and they fought against him. But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak the commander of their army."
