2 Samuel 23:20-22
Revised Standard Version
20 And Benai′ah the son of Jehoi′ada was a valiant man[a] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels[b] of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. 21 And he slew an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but Benai′ah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear. 22 These things did Benai′ah the son of Jehoi′ada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.
