2 Samuel 23:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ He was the most renowned of the Thirty,^[a] and became their commander; but he did not attain to the Three.

²⁰ Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant warrior^[b] from Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he struck down two sons of Ariel^[c] of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. ²¹ And he killed an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but Benaiah went against him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
