2 Samuel 23:20-23

20Benaiah, 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 pit and killed a lion on the day it snowed.

21And he killed a handsome Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand. Benaiah went to him with a club, grabbed the spear from him, and killed him with it.

22These are the things that Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, did. He was as famous as the three fighting men.

23He was honored more than the thirty, but he was not a member of the three. David put him in charge of his bodyguards.
