1 Chronicles 11:20-25

20As for 1AbshaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was chiefH7218 of the 2thirtyH7970, and he swungH5782 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 3and killedH2491 them; and he had a nameH8034 as well as the 4thirtyH7970. 21Of the threeH7969 in the secondH8147 rank he was the most honoredH3513 and becameH1961 their commanderH8269; however, he did not attainH935 to the first threeH7969.

225BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of KabzeelH6909, mightyH7227 in deedsH6467, struckH5221 downH5221 the 6twoH8147 sons of ArielH739 of MoabH4124. He also wentH3381 downH3381 and 7killedH5221 a lionH738 insideH8432 a pitH953 on a snowyH7950 dayH3117. 23He 8killedH5221 an EgyptianH4713, a manH376 of great statureH4060 fiveH2568 9cubitsH520 tall. Now in the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027 was 10a spearH2595 like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500, but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a clubH7626 and snatchedH1497 the spearH2595 from the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027 and 11killedH2026 him with his own spearH2595. 24TheseH428 things BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 didH6213, and had a nameH8034 as well as the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 25BeholdH2009, he was honoredH3513 amongH4480 the thirtyH7970, but he did not attainH935 to the threeH7969; and DavidH1732 appointedH7760 him overH5921 his guardH4928.
