2 Samuelsboken 23:20-39
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
20 (A) Benaja,[a] son till Jojada från Kabseel, var en tapper man som gjorde många stordåd. Han slog de två arielerna[b] i Moab. Det var också han som en snövädersdag steg ner och dödade lejonet i brunnen. 21 Han dödade också en egyptier, en imponerande man. Egyptiern hade ett spjut i handen, men Benaja gick ner mot honom med sin stav och ryckte spjutet ur egyptierns hand och dödade honom med hans eget spjut. 22 (B) Sådant gjorde Benaja, Jojadas son. Han hade ett aktat namn bland de tre hjältarna. 23 Han var mer ansedd än någon av de trettio, men upp till de tre första nådde han inte. David satte honom över sin livvakt.

20 Benaiah(A) son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(B) performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 23 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three.
