2 Samuel 23:20-23 ▼

20 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many notable acts, killed two [famous] warriors of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

21 And he killed an Egyptian, an impressive and handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed the man with his own spear.

22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and gained a reputation beside the three mighty men.

23 He was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the [greatness of the] three. David appointed him over his guard.
