2 Samuel 23:19-21
English Standard Version
19 He was the most renowned of the thirty[a] and became their commander, but he did not attain to (A)the three.
20 And (B)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man[b] of (C)Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two ariels[c] of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. 21 And he struck down an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
