Exegesis
Shammah {שַׁמָּה֙ | šam-māh} ‘Shammah’ and Elika {אֱלִיקָ֖א | ʾe-lî-qāʾ} ‘Elika’ are listed without an explicit conjunction in Hebrew, but English adds “and” to render a coherent list. The noun + adjective pattern underscores their shared clan affiliation, and the absence of a verb is typical of Hebrew nominal lists.
In context — 2 Samuel 23:25
Shammah the Harodite and Elika the Harodite .
