2 Samuel 23:20-23

20And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two ariels of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

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

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

23He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
