Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab; he also went down and killed a lion inside a cistern on a snowy day.
He even killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand as big as the crossbeam of a weaver’s loom; Benaiah attacked him with a club. He grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who gained fame along with the three elite warriors.
He received honor from the thirty warriors, though he was not one of the three elite warriors. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
