1 Chronicles 11:23 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11

21 De los tres fué más ilustre que los [otros] dos, y fué el principal de ellos: mas no llegó á los tres [primeros].

22 Benaías hijo de Joiada, hijo de varón de esfuerzo, de grandes hechos, de Cabseel: él venció los dos leones de Moab: también descendió, é hirió un león en mitad de un foso en tiempo de nieve.

23 El mismo venció á un Egipcio, hombre de cinco codos de estatura: y el Egipcio traía una lanza como un enjullo de tejedor; mas él descendió á él con un bastón, y arrebató al Egipcio la lanza de la mano, y matólo con su misma lanza.

24 Esto hizo Benaías hijo de Joiada, y fué nombrado entre los tres valientes.

25 Y fué el más honrado de los treinta, mas no llegó á los tres [primeros]. A éste puso David en su consejo.
