1. The son of Jehoiada a chief-priest (1Ch 27:5), and therefore of the tribe of Levi, though a native of Kabzeel (2Sa 23:20; 1Ch 11:22), in the south of Judah; set by David (1Ch 11:24) over his body-guard of Cherethites and Pelethites (2Sa 8:18; 1Ki 1:38; 1Ch 18:17; 2Sa 20:23), and occupying a middle rank between the first three of the Gibborim, or mighty men, and the thirty valiant men of the armies (2Sa 23:22; 2Sa 23:30; 1Ch 11:24; 1Ch 27:6; and see Kennicott, Diss. p. 177). The exploits which gave him this rank are narrated in 2Sa 23:20-21; 1Ch 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. He was captain of the host for the third month (1Ch 27:5). B.C. 1046. Benaiah remained faithful to Solomon during Adonijah’s attempt on the crown (1Ki 1:8; 1Ki 1:10; 1Ki 1:26), a matter in which he took part in his official capacity as commander of the king’s body-guard (1Ki 1:32; 1Ki 1:36; 1Ki 1:38; 1Ki 1:44); and after Adonijah and Joab had both been put to death by his hand (1Ki 2:25; 1Ki 2:29-30; 1Ki 2:34), as well as Shimei (1Ki 2:46), he was raised by Solomon into the place of Joab as commander-in-chief of the whole army (1 Kings 2, 35; 4, 4). B.C. 1015. SEE DAVID.<\/p>\n
Benaiah appears to have had a son called, after his grandfather, Jehoiada, who succeeded Ahithophel about the person of the king (1Ch 27:34). But this is possibly a copyist’s mistake for Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. Smith, s.v.<\/p>\n
2. A Pirathonite of the tribe of Ephraim, one of David’s thirty mighty men (2Sa 23:30; 1Ch 11:31), and the captain of the eleventh monthly course (1Ch 27:14). B.C. 1044. SEE DAVID.<\/p>\n

8. The father of Pelatiah, which latter was a prince of the people in the time of Ezekiel (Eze 11:1; Eze 11:13). B.C. ante 571.<\/p>\n
9. One of the sons of Parosh, who divorced his Gentile wife after the return from Babylon (Ezr 10:25). B.C. 458. <\/p>\n
10. Another Israelite, of the sons of Pahathmoab, who did the same (Ezr 10:30). B.C. 458.<\/p>\n
11. Another, of the sons of Bani, who did likewise (Ezr 10:35). B.C. 458.<\/p>\n

built up by Jehovah. (1.<\/strong>) The son of Jehoiada, chief priest (1 Chr. 27:5<\/span>). He was set by David over his body-guard of Cherethites and Pelethites (2 Sam. 8:18<\/span>; 1 Kings 1:32<\/span>; 1 Chr. 18:17<\/span>). His exploits are enumerated in 2 Sam. 23:20<\/span>, 21<\/span>, 22<\/span>; 1 Chr. 11:22<\/span>. He remained faithful to Solomon (1 Kings 1:8<\/span>, 10<\/span>, 26<\/span>), by whom he was raised to the rank of commander-in-chief (1 Kings 2:25<\/span>, 29<\/span>, 30<\/span>, 34<\/span>, 35<\/span>; 4:4<\/span>).<\/p>\n (2.<\/strong>) 2 Sam. 23:30<\/span>; 1 Chr. 11:31<\/span>.<\/p>\n (3.<\/strong>) A musical Levite (1 Chr. 15:18<\/span>, 20<\/span>).<\/p>\n (4.<\/strong>) A priest (1 Chr. 15:24<\/span>; 16:6<\/span>).<\/p>\n (5.<\/strong>) The son of Jeiel (2 Chr. 20:14<\/span>).<\/p>\n (“whom Jehovah builds up”.) Son of Jehoiada, the chief priest (1Ch 27:5), so of the tribe of Levi, though of Kabzeel in S. Judah (2Sa 23:20; 1Ch 11:22; 1Ch 11:25; 1Ch 18:17; 1Ch 27:6); set over David’s body guard, the Cherethites and Pelethites (2Sa 8:18; 2Sa 20:23; 2Sa 23:20; 2Sa 23:22-23; 1Ki 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>\n 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 (2Sa 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” (1Ch 11:22-23). Having remained faithful in Adonijah’s rebellion (1Ki 1:8; 1Ki 1:10; 1Ki 1:32-38; 1Ki 1:44), and having by Solomon’s command slain him and Joab, he was promoted to the latter’s post as commander in chief (1Ki 2:25; 1Ki 2:34-35; 1Ki 4:4). Jehoiada, father of Benaiah, was next after Ahithophel in David’s court (1Ch 27:34). Eight others of the name are mentioned.<\/p>\n 1. One of David’s 30 “valiant men of the armies,” the Pirathonite, an Ephraimite, captain of the 11th monthly course (2Sa 23:30; 1Ch 11:31; 1Ch 27:14).<\/p>\n 2. A Levite of David’s time who “played with a psaltery on alamoth” (1Ch 15:18-20; 1Ch 16:5).<\/p>\n 3. A priest in David’s time who blew the trumpet before the ark (1Ch 15:24; 1Ch 16:6).<\/p>\n 4. A Levite of the sons of Asaph (2Ch 20:14).<\/p>\n 5. A Levite overseer of offerings, under Hezekiah (2Ch 31:13).<\/p>\n 6. A prince in the family of Simeon (1Ch 4:36).<\/p>\n 7. Four who took strange wives (Ezr 10:25; Ezr 10:30; Ezr 10:35; Ezr 10:43).<\/p>\n 8. Father of Pelatiah, a prince of the people, who gave presumptuous counsel against Ezekiel’s inspired warnings, and was visited with death (Ezekiel 11).<\/p>\n BENAIAH (Jah hath built).1. A brave soldier from Kabzeel in Judah (2Sa 23:20 ff.), captain of Davids bodyguard (2Sa 8:18; 2Sa 20:23). He became a partisan of Solomons and carried the mighty men, the Cherethites and Pelethites, with him (1Ki 1:7-8; 1Ki 1:38). He played an important role in the young kings coronation (1Ki 1:38; 1Ki 1:44), and was subsequently ordered to dispatch Joab, whose place as commander-in-chief he then filled (1Ki 2:28-35). 2. One of the thirty who formed the second class of Davids heroes (2Sa 23:22). He came from Pirathon in Mt. Ephraim (2Sa 23:30, cf. Jdg 12:15). 1Ch 27:14 assigns to him the command of the course for the eleventh month, with twenty-four thousand Ephraimites under him. 3. Some ten obscure persons of this name appear in 1Ch 4:36; 1Ch 15:18; 1Ch 15:20; 1Ch 15:24; 1Ch 16:5-6, 2Ch 20:14; 2Ch 31:13, Ezr 10:25; Ezr 10:30; Ezr 10:35; Ezr 10:43, Eze 11:1; Eze 11:13.<\/p>\n J. Taylor.<\/p>\n be-naya, be-na (, benayah, , benayahu, Yahweh has built. Compare HPN, 182, 265, 268):<\/p>\n (1) Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada of Kabzeel (compare Jos 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 (2Sa 23:23 m; compare 1Ch 27:34 where the order of names seems to be reversed) and set him over the Cherethites (compare Carites, 2Ki 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 (1Ch 27:5 f; 2Sa 8:18; 2Sa 20:23; 1Ch 18:17; 2Sa 23:20; 2Sa 11:22). Being a true friend of David (compare 2Sa 15:18) he did not take part in the usurpation of Adonijah (1Ki 1:8, 1Ki 1:10, 1Ki 1:26), and was therefore with others chosen by the king to proclaim Solomon king over Israel (1Ki 1:32) and later by Solomon to execute Adonijah (1Ki 2:25), Joab (1Ki 2:29), and Shimei (1Ki 2:46). In recognition of his services Solomon appointed him over the host in Joab’s place (1Ki 2:35; 1Ki 4:4).<\/p>\n (2) Benaiah, a Pirathonite (compare Jdg 12:13, Jdg 12:15), was one of David’s 30 mighty men (2Sa 23:30; 1Ch 11:31).

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 (2Sa 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 (1Ki 1:36; 1Ki 2:29). Some persons named Benaiah returned from the exile with Ezra (Ezr 10:25; Ezr 10:30; Ezr 10:35; Ezr 10:43).<\/p>\n [Benai’ah]<\/p>\n 1.
