2 Samuel 23:18-39
New International Version
18 Abishai(A) the brother of Joab son of Zeruiah was chief of the Three.[a] He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 19 Was he not held in greater honor than the Three? He became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
20 Benaiah(B) son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(C) 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. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
24 Among the Thirty were:
Asahel(D) the brother of Joab,
Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,
25 Shammah the Harodite,(E)
Elika the Harodite,
26 Helez(F) the Paltite,

31 Abi-Albon the Arbathite,
