19 Abishai was as famous as the Three Heroes. He became their leader, even though he was not one of them.

20 Then there was Benaiah son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel. He was the son of a powerful man.[a] Benaiah did many brave things. He killed two of the best soldiers in Moab. One day when it was snowing, Benaiah went down into a hole in the ground and killed a lion. 21 Benaiah also killed a big Egyptian soldier.
