22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada(A) was the son of a brave man(a) from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab,(b) and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 23 He also killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall.(c) Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand like a weaver’s beam,(B) Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear. 24 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors.
