22. Benaiah, Jehoiada’s son from Kabzeel, was a hero who performed great deeds. He killed two of Moab’s leaders, and on a snowy day went down into a pit where he killed a lion.
23. He also killed an Egyptian seven and a half feet tall, who was holding a spear like a weaver’s beam. Benaiah went down to him with a club, grabbed the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with it.
24. These were the exploits of Benaiah, Jehoiada’s son; he wasn’t considered one of the three warriors.
25. He was famous among the Thirty, but didn’t become one of the Three. David placed him in command of his own bodyguard.
