2 Samuel 23:20-23
20Benaiah son of Jehoida 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 in a cistern on a snowy day.
21He also killed an impressive-looking Egyptian. The Egyptian wielded a spear, while Benaiah attacked him with a club. He grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
22Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoida, who gained fame among the three elite warriors.
23He received honor from the thirty warriors, though he was not one of the three elite warriors. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
