Abishai and Benaiah: Leaders of the Thirty

2 Samuel 23:18-23

And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he is head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred--wounded, and he hath a name among three.

Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the first three he hath not come.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.

And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian is a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

These things hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.

Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.
