David's Mighty Warriors
David's Mighty Warriors (also known as David's Mighty Men or the Gibborim; ''hagGībōrīm'', "The Mighty Ones") 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 "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.

Thirty Tyrants

Upon Lysander's request, the Thirty were elected as a tyrannical government, not just as a legislative committee. Although they maintained power for only a brief eight months, their reign resulted in the killing of 5% of the Athenian population, the confiscation of citizens' property and the exile of other democratic supporters. They became known as the "Thirty Tyrants" because of their cruel and oppressive tactics. The two leading members were Critias and Theramenes.

A former journalist and newspaper editor, Gemmell had his first work of fiction published in 1984. He went on to write over thirty novels.

A steering group of 18 authors was chaired by writer Stan Nicholls and the award was decided by a public vote. Early life David Gemmell was born in 1948 in west London.
