David’s Other Valiant Soldiers(A)
20 Joab’s brother Abishai was the lieutenant[a] in charge of the platoons. He used his spear to fight and kill 300 men, gaining a reputation distinct from the Three. 21 He was more well-known than the Three,[b] but he never attained the stature of the Three.
22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, who was a valiant man, accomplished great things. He was from Kabzeel. He killed two men named[c] Ariel from Moab[d] and then he also went down into a pit and struck down a lion during a snow storm one day.
