← 1 Chronicles 11:22	1 Chronicles 11:23 (KJV)	1 Chronicles 11:24 →
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.	And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.	These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
