1 Chronicles 11:22-25

22Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab; he also went down and killed a lion inside a cistern on a snowy day.

23He even killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall. The Egyptian had a spear as big as the crossbeam of a weaver’s loom; Benaiah attacked him with a club. He grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.

24Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who gained fame along with the three elite warriors.

25He received honor from the thirty warriors, though he was not one of the three elite warriors. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
