1 Chronicles 11:22-25

22There was also Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior from Kabzeel. He did many heroic deeds, which included killing two champions of Moab. Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it.

23Once, armed only with a club, he killed an Egyptian warrior who was 7-1/2 feet tall and who was armed with a spear as thick as a weaver’s beam. Benaiah wrenched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with it.

24Deeds like these made Benaiah as famous as the three mightiest warriors.

25He was more honored than the other members of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. And David made him captain of his bodyguard.
