1 Chronicles 11

21  Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: howbeit he attained not to the `first' three.

22  Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two `sons of' Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

23  And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24  These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.

25  Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the `first' three: and David set him over his guard.

26  Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

27  Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

28  Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,

29  Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

30  Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,
