2 Samuel 23:20-23

20Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.

21And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.

22Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors.

23He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
