1 Chronicles 11:20-25

20As for 1Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the 2thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred 3and killed them; and he had a name as well as the 4thirty. 21Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.

225Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the 6two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and 7killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day. 23He 8killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature five 9cubits tall. Now in the Egyptian’s hand was 10a spear like a weaver’s beam, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and 11killed him with his own spear. 24These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men. 25Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three; and David appointed him over his guard.
