2 Samuel 23:18-23

18Now 1AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, was 2chiefH7218 of the 3thirtyH7992. And he swungH5782 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 4and killedH2491 them, and had a nameH8034 5as well as the threeH7969. 19He was the mostH3513 honoredH3513 amongH4480 the thirtyH7969, so he becameH1961 their commanderH8269; however, he did not attainH935 to the reputation of the threeH7969.

20Then 6BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of 7KabzeelH6909, who had done greatH7227 deedsH6467, 8killedH5221 the 9twoH8147 sons of ArielH739 of MoabH4124. He also wentH3381 downH3381 and killedH5221 a lionH743 in the middleH8432 of a pitH877 on a snowyH7950 dayH3117. 21And he 10killedH5221 an EgyptianH4713, 11an impressiveH4758 manH376. Now the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his handH3027, but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a clubH7626 and snatchedH1497 the spearH2595 from the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027, and killedH2026 him with his own spearH2595. 22TheseH428 things 12BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 didH6213, and had a nameH8034 13as well as the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 23He was honoredH3513 amongH4480 the thirtyH7970, but he did not attainH935 the reputation of the threeH7969. And DavidH1732 appointedH7760 him overH413 his bodyguardH4928.
