2 Samuel 23:20-23

20Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

21And he killed an Egyptian, a spectacular man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

22These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men.

23He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.
