2 Samuel 23:20
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow: And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
The verse stands near the close of the chapter as part of a catalog of David's mighty men and their victories. It records that Benaiah went down into a pit in snowy weather and killed a lion there, the den icy and the fight face to face. The deed displays his courage and strength. Together with his other deeds, this feat earned him an honored place among David's mighty men.
