²⁵ So King Solomon sent ^(A)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he struck him down, and he died.

¹⁸ and ^(A)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over^[a] the ^(B)Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David's sons were priests.

⁴⁶ Then the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him down, and he died.

^(A)So the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

³⁴ Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and struck him down and put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

³¹ The king replied to him, ^(A)“Do as he has said, strike him down and bury him, ^(B)and thus take away from me and from my father's house the guilt for the blood that Joab shed without cause.

¹² And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged them beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it ^(A)in the tomb of Abner at Hebron.

¹⁵ Then ^(A)David called one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him.” And he struck him down so that he died.

³³ And Samuel said, ^(A)“As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the Lord ^(B)in Gilgal.

²⁰ So he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a young man. ²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength.” And Gideon arose and ^(A)killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took ^(B)the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
