Context of 1 Chronicles 11:24

He also went down and struck and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day. 23And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature five cubits tall.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name as well as the three mighty men. 25Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain the reputation of the first three; and David appointed him over his bodyguard. 26Now the mighty men of the armies were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
