2 Samuel 23:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Abishai was chief over the three mighty warriors. He was the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah. He used his spear against 300 men. He killed all of them. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors were. ¹⁹ In fact, he was even more honored than the three mighty warriors. He became their commander. But he wasn’t included among them.

²⁰ Benaiah was a great hero from Kabzeel. He was the son of Jehoiada. Benaiah did many brave things. He struck down two of Moab’s best warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day. He killed a lion there.
