2 Samuel 23:19 in Context — 2 Samuel 23

17 Lejos sea de mí, oh Jehová, que yo haga esto. ¿[He de beber yo] la sangre de los varones que fueron con peligro de su vida? Y no quiso beberla. Los tres valientes hicieron esto.

18 Y Abisai hermano de Joab, hijo de Sarvia, fué el principal de los tres; el cual alzó su lanza contra trescientos, que mató; y tuvo nombre entre los tres.

19 El era el más aventajado de los tres, y el primero de ellos; mas no llegó á los tres [primeros].

20 Después, Benaía hijo de Joiada, hijo de un varón esforzado, grande en hechos, de Cabseel. Este hirió dos leones de Moab: y él mismo descendió, é hirió un león en medio de un foso en el tiempo de la nieve:

21 También hirió él á un Egipcio, hombre [de grande] estatura: y tenía el Egipcio una lanza en su mano; mas descendió á él con un palo, y arrebató al Egipcio la lanza de la mano, y matólo con su propia lanza.
