1 Chronicles 11:21-23
International Standard Version
21 He was more well-known than the Three,[a] 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[b] Ariel from Moab[c] and then he also went down into a pit and struck down a lion during a snow storm one day. 23 He also killed a soldier[d] from Egypt of enormous height—five cubits[e] tall. The Egyptian carried a spear comparable in size to a weaver’s beam, but Benaiah attacked him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
