1 Chronicles 11:22 In-Context

20 Joab's brother Abishai was the leader of the thirty. He used his spear to kill 300 men, but he was not one of the three,

21 although he was honored more than they were. So he became their captain but didn't become a member of the three.

22 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was from Kabzeel and was a brave man who did many things. He killed two distinguished soldiers from Moab. He also went into a cistern and killed a lion on the day it snowed.

23 He killed an eight-foot-tall Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's beam in his hand. But Benaiah went to him with a club, grabbed the spear away from him, and killed him with it.

24 These are the things that Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, did. He was as famous as the three fighting men.
