Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a courageous man of Kabzeel who had done great things, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. Also he went down and killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day. He killed an Egyptian also, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam, and Benaiah went down to him with [only] a staff (rod) and grabbed the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name as well as the three mighty men. He was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to [the rank of] the [first] three. David appointed him over his bodyguard.
