2 Samuel 23:21 · ZARZA Bible

In context

19Was he not the most honored of the thirty? So he became their commander, but he did not attain to the three. 20Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, a man of many deeds. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he also went down and struck down a lion inside a pit on a day of snow. 21He also struck down an Egyptian, an impressive man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went down against him with a club, snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear. 22These are the things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and so he gained a name among the three mighty men. 23He was honored above the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
