1 Chronicles 11:23 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11
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.
24 Estas coisas fez Benaia, filho de Joiada, e por isso foi famoso entre aqueles três guerreiros.
25 Eis que ele foi o mais ilustre dos trinta, mas não alcançou os três [primeiros] . E Davi o pôs sobre sua guarda pessoal.
