'Men of Israel' in the Bible

The battle was very violent that day, with Abner and the men of Israel being defeated in the presence of David's servants.

After this, David gathered together again 30,000 men from all of the choicest men of Israel.

By doing all of this to anyone who came to the king for a hearing, Absalom stole the loyalty of the men of Israel.

Then a messenger arrived to inform David, "The loyalties of the men of Israel have shifted to Absalom."

Hushai replied, "No! On the contrary, whomever the LORD, this group, and all the men of Israel choose is where I'll be, and I'll remain with him!

Not long afterward, all the men of Israel started coming to the king, complaining to him, "Why did our relatives in Judah's army sneak you away, taking the king and his household over the Jordan River, along with David's army?"
