Quick answer
The list adds Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites. Members of the Korahite line joined David.
Overview
These Korahites, possibly Levites of the line associated with temple worship, are named among David's warriors. Their inclusion shows support from those connected to Israel's religious life. The blending of worship-related families with David's cause hints at the union of kingship and worship that David would establish, fulfilled in Christ, who is both King and Priest.
