1 Chronicles 11:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

²² Then there was Benaiah son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel. He was the son of a powerful man.^[a] Benaiah did many brave things. He killed two of the best soldiers in Moab. One day when it was snowing, Benaiah went down into a hole in the ground and killed a lion. ²³ And Benaiah killed a big Egyptian soldier. That man was about 7 1/2 feet^[b] tall. The Egyptian had a spear that was very large and heavy. It was as big as the pole on a weaver’s loom. Benaiah had only a club. He grabbed the spear in the Egyptian’s hands and took it away from him. Then Benaiah killed the Egyptian with his own spear. ²⁴ Benaiah son of Jehoiada did many brave things like that. He was as famous as the Three Heroes.
