1 Chronicles 11:21 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11

19 E disse: Deus me proíba de fazer isto! Beberia eu o sangue destes homens com suas vidas? Pois eles arriscaram suas vidas para a trazerem.Por isso ele não a quis beber. Isto fizeram aqueles três guerreiros.

20 E também Abisai, irmão de Joabe, foi o cabeça de três, o qual usando sua lança sobre trezentos, ele os matou; e foi famoso entre os três.

21 Dos três ele foi mais ilustre que os outros dois, por isso foi seu cabeça; porém não alcançou os três [primeiros] .

22 [Também] Benaia, filho de Joiada, filho de homem valente, de grandes feitos, de Cabzeel; ele matou dois dos poderosos guerreiros de Moabe; ele também desceu, e matou um leão dentro de uma cova no tempo da neve.

23 Ele também matou um homem egípcio alto, de cinco côvados; o egípcio trazia na mão uma lança como um lançador de tecelão; porém [Benaia] desceu a ele com um bastão; e arrancou a lança da mão do egípcio, e o matou com sua própria lança.
