1 Chronicles 11:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 He was the most renowned[a] of the Thirty,[b] and became their commander; but he did not attain to the Three.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant man[c] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he struck down two sons of[d] Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. 23 And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver’s beam; but Benaiah went against him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
