1 Chronicles 11:22-25

22Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was from Kabzeel and was a brave man who did many things. He killed two distinguished soldiers from Moab. He also went into a cistern and killed a lion on the day it snowed.

23He killed an eight-foot-tall Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand. But Benaiah went to him with a club, grabbed the spear away from him, and killed him with it.

24These are the things that Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, did. He was as famous as the three fighting men.

25He was honored more than the thirty, but he was not a member of the three. David put him in charge of his bodyguards.
