²¹ He was the most renowned^[a] of the thirty,^[b] and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.

²² And Bena′iah the son of Jehoi′ada was a valiant man^[c] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels^[d] of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. ²³ And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver’s beam; but Bena′iah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
