Such were the exploits
The word "exploits" in this context refers to the remarkable and heroic deeds performed by Benaiah. The Hebrew root for "exploits" is often associated with acts of valor and bravery. In the historical context of ancient Israel, such deeds were not only physical feats but also acts of faith and loyalty to God and the king. Benaiah's exploits are a testament to his courage and dedication, serving as an inspiration for believers to pursue righteousness and bravery in their own lives.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada
Benaiah, whose name means "Yahweh has built," was a distinguished warrior in King David's army. His father, Jehoiada, was a priest, indicating that Benaiah came from a lineage of spiritual and moral integrity. This background highlights the importance of a godly heritage and the influence of righteous upbringing. Benaiah's life exemplifies how one's family and faith can shape their character and destiny.

who won a name
To "win a name" in the biblical sense means to gain a reputation or legacy that is remembered and honored. In ancient cultures, a name was more than just an identifier; it represented one's character and achievements. Benaiah's actions earned him a place of honor among the mighty men, illustrating the biblical principle that faithfulness and courage lead to lasting recognition and respect.

alongside the three mighty men
The "three mighty men" refers to a select group of David's warriors known for their extraordinary feats. Being mentioned alongside them signifies Benaiah's exceptional status and accomplishments. This phrase underscores the value of being part of a community of faith and strength, where individuals support and inspire one another to achieve greatness for God's glory. It serves as a reminder that believers are called to be part of a spiritual family, striving together for the kingdom of God.

(24) And had the name.--Literally, and to him (was) a name among the three heroes, viz., the second triad.
