8These are the names of the valiant in David: Isboseth the Ahamanites, chief of the three; and he lifted up his spear against eight hundred men, and smote them once.

9According to him, Eleazar, the son of Dodo, the son of Ahocha, was one of the three valiant men who were with David, when they rebuked the Philistines who were going to war;

10The Israelites came out against them, and he stood and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary and stuck to the sword. And the Lord granted that day a great victory, and the people followed him only to rob the slain.

20Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a man of valiance, great in deeds, of Kabzeel; he smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab; and he went down and killed the lion in the pit in the snowy season;
