2 Samuel 23:18-23

18And AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, was chiefH7218 of the threeH7969. And he lifted up his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967 and slew them, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969. 19WasH1961 he not most honorable of the threeH7969? therefore he wasH1961 madeH3513 their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first threeH7969.

20And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiant manH376 of KabzeelH6909, who had done mighty deedsH6467, he slew the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of Ariel of MoabH4124: he wentH3381 downH3381 also and slew a lionH738 in the midstH8432 of a pitH953 in time of snowH7950. 21And he slewH2026 an EgyptianH4713, a goodly manH376: and the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his handH3027; but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and plucked the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian’s handH3027, and slewH2026 him with his own spearH2595. 22These thingsH428 did BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 23He was moreH4480 honorable than the thirtyH7970, but he attained not to the first threeH7969. And DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guard.
