2 Samuel 23:20-23

20Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.

21He also killed an Egyptian, an impressive man. Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went down to him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear.

22These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors.

23He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
