← 1 Chronicles 11:20	1 Chronicles 11:21 (KJV)	1 Chronicles 11:22 →
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.	Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.	Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
