1 Chronicles 11:22-47 ▼

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

23 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.

25 Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
