1 Chronicles 11:22 In-Context

20 Avishai, the brother of Yo'av, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three.
22 Benayah the son of Yehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kavtz'el, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two [sons of] Ari'el of Mo'av: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
23 He killed a Mitzrian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Mitzrian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Mitzrian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
24 These things did Benayah the son of Yehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
