What Does 2 Samuel 23:20 Mean And Benaiah son of JehoiadaBenaiah’s lineage matters. Jehoiada was a priest (1 Chronicles 27:5), so Benaiah grew up surrounded by worship and covenant truth. His godly heritage helps explain his unwavering courage when facing danger—just as Timothy’s faith was stirred by his mother and grandmother (2 Timothy 1:5). Scripture shows again that family influence can anchor a warrior’s heart in the Lord. was a man of valor “Valor” in Scripture always ties to faith, not bravado. Joshua was told, “Be strong and courageous… for the LORD your God is with you” (Joshua 1:9). Gideon was called a “mighty man of valor” while hiding (Judges 6:12), proving that God names us by His purpose rather than our circumstances. Benaiah’s valor reflects trust in the Lord’s presence, which emboldens any believer to stand firm (Ephesians 6:10–13). from Kabzeel Kabzeel sat on Judah’s southern frontier near hostile territories (Joshua 15:21). Growing up on a borderland prone to raids would shape anyone into a defender. Like David’s early life among dangerous Philistine lines (1 Samuel 17:34–36), Benaiah’s hometown fostered resilience and readiness for conflict. a man of many exploits Scripture celebrates deeds done for God’s glory, not self-promotion. Hebrews 11 parades saints who “through faith conquered kingdoms” (Hebrews 11:33). Benaiah’s résumé prepares us for the specific feats that follow, reminding believers that a pattern of ordinary faithfulness often precedes extraordinary moments (Luke 16:10). He struck down two champions of Moab Moab was a constant threat (Numbers 22–24; 2 Kings 3). Slaying two distinguished warriors echoes David defeating Goliath (1 Samuel 17) and foreshadows Christ conquering every enemy (Colossians 2:15). Courage in national defense is presented as righteous when aligned with God’s covenant purposes (Romans 13:3–4). and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion Snow adds hazard; travel is treacherous, footing unsure. Pits are enclosed, leaving no escape. A lion is apex danger (1 Peter 5:8). Benaiah voluntarily descended—he wasn’t trapped; he chose confrontation. This mirrors David running toward Goliath (1 Samuel 17:48) and Daniel facing lions in faith (Daniel 6:23). The episode teaches: • Faith acts decisively even when conditions worsen. • True courage moves toward threats that imperil others. • Victory in hidden places—“in a pit”—matters to God as much as battlefield triumphs (Matthew 6:4). • The Lord can enable His servants to overcome what seems humanly impossible (Philippians 4:13). summary Benaiah’s brief biography shines as a portrait of Spirit-empowered bravery rooted in covenant faith. Raised in a priestly home on a hostile border, he consistently chose bold obedience—whether facing foreign champions or a lion in a snow-filled pit. His story invites believers to trust God’s presence, step forward despite adverse conditions, and believe that no enemy—physical or spiritual—outmatches the Lord who equips His people for victory. (20) Benaiah.--He was the general of the third division of the army (1Chronicles 27:5-6). This probably included the Cherethites and Pelethites, since he was also their commander (2Samuel 8:18; 2Samuel 20:23). In consequence of his faithfulness to Solomon in the rebellion of Adonijah, he was finally made commander-in-chief (1Kings 1:8; 1Kings 1:26; 1Kings 1:32; 1Kings 2:25; 1Kings 2:29-35; 1Kings 4:4). His father Jehoiada is called "a chief priest "in 1Chronicles 27:5, and in 1Chronicles 12:27 mention is made of a "Jehoiada the leader of the Aaronites," who came to David at Hebron, and who may have been the same person. . . . Verse 20. - Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. He was a very important person throughout David's reign, being the commander of the body guard' (2 Samuel 8:18), and general of the third brigade of twenty-four thousand men (1 Chronicles 27:5). The meaning of the description given of him there is disputed; but probably it should be translated, "Benaiah the son of Jehoiada the priest, as head," that is, of the brigade. He was thus the son of the Jehoiada who was leader of the house of Aaron, and whose coming to Hebron with three thousand seven hundred martial priests did so much to make David king of all Israel (1 Chronicles 12:27). Subsequently he took the side of Solomon against Adonijah, and was rewarded by being made commander-in-chief, in place of Joab (1 Kings 2:35). Kabzeel. An unidentified place in the south of Judah, on the Edomite border (Joshua 15:21), called Jekabzeel in Nehemiah 11:25. Two lionlike men of Moab. The Septuagint reads, "the two sons of Ariel of Moab." which the Revised Version adopts. "Ariel" means "lion of God," and is a name given to Jerusalem in Isaiah 29:1, 2. The Syriac supports the Authorized Version in understanding by the term "heroes," or "champions;" but the use of poetical language in a prosaic catalogue is so strange that the Septuagint is probably right. If so, Ariel is the proper name of the King of Moab and the achievement took place in the war recorded in 2 Samuel 8:2. A lion. This achievement would be as gratefully remembered as the killing of a man eating tiger by the natives in India. A lion, driven by the cold from the forests, had made its lair in a dry tank near some town, and thence preyed upon the inhabitants as they went in and out of the city. And Benaiah had pity upon them, and came to the rescue, and went down into the pit, and, at the risk of his life, slew the lion.Parallel Commentaries ...
