20. And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three. 21. Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three. 22. Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 23. And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] 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. 24. These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties. 25. Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
