1 Chronicles - ch 11 v 21 - 40
- Of the thirty, he was the noblest, and was made their captain, but he was not equal to the first three.
- Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a fighting-man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death two young lions going into their secret place; and he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow.
- And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
- These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
- He was honoured over the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three: and David put him over his servants.
