2 Samuel 23:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 He was most honored of the thirty, therefore he became their commander; however, he did not attain to the three.
20 Then (A)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of (B)Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, [a]killed the [b]two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day. 21 He [c]killed an Egyptian, [d]an impressive man. Now the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.

New International Version
19 Was he not held in greater honor than the Three? He became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
20 Benaiah(A) son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(B) performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
