[[Judah]] ( 2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22; 1 Chronicles 11:25; 1 Chronicles 18:17; 1 Chronicles 27:6); set over David's body guard, the [[Cherethites]] and [[Pelethites]] ( 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 20:23; 2 Samuel 23:20; 2 Samuel 23:22-23; 1 Kings 1:38). Midway between the first three of "the mighty men" ( gibborim ), and the 30 "valiant men of the armies." "Mighty among the 30, and above the 30." </p> <p> He earned his position by slaying "two lion-like men of Moab," and "a lion in a pit in a snowy day," and "an [[Egyptian]] of great stature, a goodly man ( 2 Samuel 23:21), five cubits high," out of whose hand he plucked the spear like a weaver's beam, "and slew him with his own spear" ( 1 Chronicles 11:22-23). Having remained faithful in Adonijah's rebellion ( 1 Kings 1:8; 1 Kings 1:10; 1 Kings 1:32-38; 1 Kings 1:44), and having by Solomon's command slain him and Joab, he was promoted to the latter's post as commander in chief ( 1 Kings 2:25; 1 Kings 2:34-35; 1 Kings 4:4). Jehoiada, father of Benaiah, was next after [[Ahithophel]] in David's court ( 1 Chronicles 27:34). Eight others of the name are mentioned. </p> <p> 1. One of David's 30 "valiant men of the armies," the Pirathonite, an Ephraimite, captain of the 11th monthly course ( 2 Samuel 23:30; 1 Chronicles 11:31; 1 Chronicles 27:14). </p> <p> 2. A [[Levite]] of David's time who "played with a psaltery on alamoth" ( 1 Chronicles 15:18-20; 1 Chronicles 16:5). </p> <p> 3. A priest in David's time who blew the trumpet before the ark ( 1 Chronicles 15:24; 1 Chronicles 16:6). </p> <p> 4. A Levite of the sons of [[Asaph]] ( 2 Chronicles 20:14). </p> <p> 5. A Levite overseer of offerings, under [[Hezekiah]] ( 2 Chronicles 31:13). </p> <p> 6. A prince in the family of [[Simeon]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:36). </p> <p> 7. Four who took strange wives ( Ezra 10:25; Ezra 10:30; Ezra 10:35; Ezra 10:43). </p> <p> 8.

A brave soldier from [[Kabzeel]] in [[Judah]] ( 2 Samuel 23:20 ff.), captain of David’s bodyguard ( 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 20:23 ). He became a partisan of Solomon’s and carried’ the mighty men,’ ‘the [[Cherethites]] and Pelethites,’ with him ( 1 Kings 1:7-8; 1 Kings 1:38 ). He played an important role in the young king’s coronation ( 1 Kings 1:38; 1 Kings 1:44 ), and was subsequently ordered to dispatch Joab, whose place as commander-in-chief he then filled ( 1 Kings 2:28-35 ). <strong> 2 </strong> . One of the thirty who formed the second class of David’s heroes ( 2 Samuel 23:22 ). He came from [[Pirathon]] in Mt. [[Ephraim]] ( 2 Samuel 23:30 , cf. Judges 12:15 ). 1 Chronicles 27:14 assigns to him the command of the course for the eleventh month, with twenty-four thousand Ephraimites under him. <strong> 3 </strong> .

Compare <i> HPN </i> , 182, 265, 268): </p> <p> (1) Benaiah, the son of [[Jehoiada]] of [[Kabzeel]] (compare Joshua 15:21 ), was a man of "mighty deeds" and was more honorable than any of the mighty men of [[David]] except the three chiefs. Therefore David made him his chief counselor ( 2 Samuel 23:23 m; compare 1 Chronicles 27:34 where the order of names seems to be reversed) and set him over the [[Cherethites]] (compare Carites, 2 Kings 11:4 and margin) and [[Pelethites]] and he was made the 3rd captain of the host and chief over the course of the 3rd month ( 1 Chronicles 27:5 f; 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 20:23; 1 Chronicles 18:17; 2 Samuel 23:20; 2 Samuel 11:22 ). Being a true friend of David (compare 2 Samuel 15:18 ) he did not take part in the usurpation of [[Adonijah]] ( 1 Kings 1:8 , 1 Kings 1:10 , 1 Kings 1:26 ), and was therefore with others chosen by the king to proclaim [[Solomon]] king over [[Israel]] ( 1 Kings 1:32 ) and later by Solomon to execute Adonijah ( 1 Kings 2:25 ), Joab ( 1 Kings 2:29 ), and [[Shimei]] ( 1 Kings 2:46 ). In recognition of his services Solomon appointed him over the host in Joab's place ( 1 Kings 2:35; 1 Kings 4:4 ). </p> <p> (2) Benaiah, a [[Pirathonite]] (compare Judges 12:13 , Judges 12:15 ), was one of David's 30 mighty men ( 2 Samuel 23:30; 1 Chronicles 11:31 ). He was captain over the course of the 11th month numbering 24,000 ( 1 Chronicles 27:14 ). </p> <p> (3) A ruler of the house of [[Simeon]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:36 ). </p> <p> (4) A L evite of second degree appointed as singer ( 1 Chronicles 15:18 ) with "psalteries Set to Alamoth" ( 1 Chronicles 15:20; 1 Chronicles 16:5 ). </p> <p> (5) A priest appointed "to blow the trumpet before the ark of God" ( 1 Chronicles 15:24; 1 Chronicles 16:6 ). </p> <p> (6) The father of Jehoiada ( 1 Chronicles 27:34 ), but see (1) above. </p> <p> (7) An ancestor of [[Jahaziel]] of the house of [[Asaph]] ( 2 Chronicles 20:14 ). </p> <p> (8) An overseer in the service of [[Hezekiah]] ( 2 Chronicles 31:13 ). </p> <p> (9, 10, 11, 12) Four different men of Israel who had taken "strange wives" ( Ezra 10:25 , Ezra 10:30 , Ezra 10:35 , Ezra 10:43 ). </p> <p> (13) The father of [[Pelatiah]] who was seen by Ezekiel in his vision ( Ezekiel 11:1 , Ezekiel 11:13 ). </p> | |||

<p> Benai´ah, son of Jehoiada, and commander of David's guard (the [[Cherethites]] and Pelethites, 2 Samuel 8:18). His exploits were celebrated in Israel. He overcame two Moabitish champions ('lions of God'), slew an [[Egyptian]] giant with his own spear, and went down into an exhausted cistern and destroyed a lion which had fallen into it when covered with snow ( 2 Samuel 23:21). [[Benaiah]] (doubtless with the guard he commanded) adhered to [[Solomon]] when Joab and others attempted to set up Adonijah; and when that attempt failed, he, as belonged to his office, was sent to put Joab to death, after which he was appointed commander in chief in his place ( 1 Kings 1:36; 1 Kings 2:29). Some persons named Benaiah returned from the exile with Ezra ( Ezra 10:25; Ezra 10:30; Ezra 10:35; Ezra 10:43). </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||

Βαναία, and in Ezra Βαναϊ v α , rarely any other v. r., e.g. Βαναϊ v ας, Βαναϊ v ), the name of a large number of men in the O.T. </p> <p> 1.

The exploits which gave him this rank are narrated in 2 Samuel 23:20-21; 1 Chronicles 11:22 : he overcame two Moabitish champions ("lions of God"), slew an [[Egyptian]] giant with his own spear, and went down into an exhausted cistern and destroyed a lion which had fallen into it when covered with snow.

B.C. 1015. (See [[David]]). </p> <p> Benaiah appears to have had a son called, after his grandfather, Jehoiada, who succeeded [[Ahithophel]] about the person of the king ( 1 Chronicles 27:34). But this is possibly a copyist's mistake for "Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada." — Smith, s.v. </p> <p> 2.

A Levite in the time of Hezekiah, one of the "overseers ( פְּקַידַים ) of offerings" ( 2 Chronicles 31:13). B.C. 726. </p> <p> 7. One of the "princes" ( נְשַׂיאַים ) of the families of [[Simeon]] who dispossessed the [[Amalekites]] from the pasture-grounds of [[Gedor]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:36). B.C. cir. 713. </p> <p> 8. The father of Pelatiah, which latter was "a prince of the people" in the time of Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 11:1; Ezekiel 11:13). B.C. ante 571. </p> <p> 9. One of the "sons" of Parosh, who divorced his [[Gentile]] wife after the return from [[Babylon]] ( Ezra 10:25). B.C. 458. </p> <p> 10.
