and Benaiah son of Jehoida [was] counselor, and the Cherethite and the Pelethite and the sons of David were princes of the court.

And Joab [was] over all he forces of Israel, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites.

But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men of David, did not follow Adonijah.

But he has not invited me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant.

And Zadok the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of King David, and led him away to Gihon.

And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and lo! He has taken hold of the horns of the altar. And King Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails you, that you have fled to the altar? And Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, Go and slay him, and bury him.

And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him. And you shall bury him, and you shall remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father.

And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed forever; but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace forever from the Lord.

And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem. And [as for] Zadok the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in place of Abiathar. And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Judah in Jerusalem. And the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the seashore.

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.

The third for the third month [was] Benaiah the son of Jehoiada the chief priest; and in his division [were] twenty-four thousand.

This Benaiah [was] more mighty than the thirty, and over the thirty; and Ammizabad his son [was] over his division.

And their cities were cities belonging to the tribe of the children of Judah on the borders of Edom by the wilderness, and Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,

Then the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hastened; trembling took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the son of a valiant man; many [were] his acts for Kabzeel; he struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

These things did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and his name [was] among the three mighties.

And from Gad these separated themselves to David from the wilderness, strong mighty men of war, bearing shields and spears, and their faces [were as] the faces of lions, and they were as nimble as gazelles upon the mountains in speed:

And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Timnah, and he came to the vineyard of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.

And the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed [the lion] as he would have crushed a young goat, and there was nothing in his hands. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

And David said to Saul, Your servant was tending the flock for his father, and when a lion came and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,

Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them! Shall I not go and kill him, and remove this day [this] reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
