2 Samuel 23:18-21
18Now 1Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was 2chief of the 3thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred 4and killed them, and had a name 5as well as the three. 19He was the most honored among the thirty, so he became their commander; however, he did not attain to the reputation of the three.
20Then 6Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of 7Kabzeel, who had done great deeds, 8killed the 9two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day. 21And he 10killed an Egyptian, 11an impressive man. Now the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
