2 Samuel 23:20-23

David's Mighty Men

20 Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from s Kabzeel, 1 who had done many deeds. t He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 21 And he killed an Egyptian, 2 a spectacular man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear. 22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men. 23 He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him u over his guard.
