Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 11 v 21 - 40
- Of the three he was more honourable than the two, and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the first three.
- Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
- He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
- These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
- Behold, he was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David set him in his council.
