1 Chronicles 11:23 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11

21 Il était le plus considéré des trois de la seconde série, et il fut leur chef; mais il n’égala pas les trois premiers.

22 Benaja, fils de Jehojada, fils d’un homme de Kabtseel, rempli de valeur et célèbre par ses exploits. Il frappa les deux lions de Moab. Il descendit au milieu d’une citerne, où il frappa un lion, un jour de neige.

23 Il frappa un Égyptien d’une stature de cinq coudées et ayant à la main une lance comme une ensouple de tisserand; il descendit contre lui avec un bâton, arracha la lance de la main de l’Égyptien, et s’en servit pour le tuer.

24 Voilà ce que fit Benaja, fils de Jehojada; et il eut du renom parmi les trois vaillants hommes.

25 Il était le plus considéré des trente; mais il n’égala pas les trois premiers. David l’admit dans son conseil secret.
