2 Samuel 23:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ In fact, he was even more honored than the three mighty warriors. He became their commander. But he wasn’t included among them.

²⁰ Benaiah was a great hero from Kabzeel. He was the son of Jehoiada. Benaiah did many brave things. He struck down two of Moab’s best warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day. He killed a lion there. ²¹ And he struck down a huge Egyptian. The Egyptian was holding a spear. Benaiah went out to fight against him with a club. He grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand. Then he killed him with it.
