In this paper we present some new identities of hypergeometric type for multiple harmonic sums whose indices are the sequences (\{1\}^a,c,\{1\}^b), (\{2\}^a,c,\{2\}^b) and prove a number of congruences for these sums modulo a prime p. The congruences obtained allow us to find nice p-analogues of Leshchiner's series for zeta values and to refine a result due to M. Hoffman and J. Zhao about the set of generators of the multiple harmonic sums of weight 7 and 9 modulo p. Moreover, we are also able to provide a new proof of Zagier's formula for \zeta^{*}(\{2\}^a,3,\{2\}^b) based on a finite identity for partial sums of the zeta-star series.
