2 Samuel 23:18-20

International Standard Version

David’s Other Valiant Soldiers^(A)

¹⁸ Zeruiah’s son Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the lieutenant^[a] in charge of the platoons.^[b] He used his spear to fight and kill 300 men, gaining a reputation distinct from the Three. ¹⁹ He was more well-known than the Three, and became their commander, but he never measured up to^[c] the Three.

²⁰ Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, who was a valiant man, accomplished great things. He was from Kabzeel. He killed two men named^[d] Ariel from Moab^[e] and then he also went down into a pit and struck down a lion during a snow storm one day.
