2 Samuel 23:18-20
Revised Standard Version
18 Now Abi′shai, the brother of Jo′ab, the son of Zeru′iah, was chief of the thirty.[a] And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three. 19 He was the most renowned of the thirty,[b] and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.
20 And Benai′ah 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.
