1 Chronicles 11:21-25

Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored, and he became their commander; however, he did not attain the reputation of the first three.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a warrior of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck and killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and struck and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day.

And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature five cubits tall. Now in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain the reputation of the first three; and David appointed him over his bodyguard.
