NASB | 2 Samuel 23:20 ¶ Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Samuel 23:20 ¶ Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many notable acts, killed two [famous] warriors of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day. |
Bible Question: Now why would he do that? He got into a pit on a slippery snowy day and faced a lion with no gun. What is the lesson? |
Bible Answer: David, Samson, and Benaiah single-handedly killed lions (Jg 14:5, 6; 1Sa 17:36; 2Sa 23:20); although the account in 2Sa 23:20 doesn't spell it out, the previous two accounts present screnarios that the killings were defensive and not just for show as it is today with people who hunt with guns and display the heads of their animal victims on their walls. Obviously, David, Samson and Benaiah had God's approval/spirit and displayed great courage (like you said, he had no gun). btw: I wouldn't try this out yourself. :) |
