1 Chronicles 11:21-23
English Standard Version
21 He was the most renowned[a] of the thirty[b] and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
22 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man[c] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two heroes of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. 23 And he struck down an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits[d] tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear (A)like a weaver's beam, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
