Abishai and Benaiah: Leaders of the Thirty

2 Samuel 23:18-23

And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.

For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.

And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.

And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.

These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.

He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
