2 Samuel 23:18-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
18 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the leader of the Thirty.[a] He wielded his spear against three hundred, all of whom were killed. His reputation equaled that of[b] the Three. 19 In fact, he was praised more than the Three, and he became their commander, but he did not belong to the Three.
20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, an energetic warrior from Kabze’el, performed great deeds. He struck the two Lions of God[c] from Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a cistern on a snowy day.
