He was a distinguished warrior from Kabzeel who served as a commander in King David's army. Known for his bravery, Benayah was one of David's mighty men and played a significant role in securing Solomon's throne. He is credited with killing two Moabite heroes, a lion in a pit on a snowy day, and an Egyptian giant (2 Samuel 23:20-23; 1 Chronicles 11:22-25). Under Solomon, Benayah was appointed over the army, succeeding Joab (1 Kings 2:35).
