BENAIAH (‘Jah hath built’).—1. A brave soldier from Kabzeel in Judah (2Sa_23:20 ff.), captain of David’s bodyguard (2Sa_8:18; 2Sa_20:23). He became a partisan of Solomon’s 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 king’s 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 David’s 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.

("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."
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.
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).
2. A Levite of David's time who "played with a psaltery on alamoth" (1Ch_15:18-20; 1Ch_16:5).
3. A priest in David's time who blew the trumpet before the ark (1Ch_15:24; 1Ch_16:6).
4. A Levite of the sons of Asaph (2Ch_20:14).
5. A Levite overseer of offerings, under Hezekiah (2Ch_31:13).
6. A prince in the family of Simeon (1Ch_4:36).
7. Four who took strange wives (Ezr_10:25; Ezr_10:30; Ezr_10:35; Ezr_10:43).
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).

bē̇-nā?ya, bē̇-nı̄?a (בּניה, benāyāh, בּניהוּ, benāyāhū, ?Yahweh has built.? Compare HPN, 182, 265, 268):
(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).
(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). He was captain over the course of the 11th month numbering 24,000 (1Ch_27:14).
(3) A ruler of the house of Simeon (1Ch_4:36).
(4) A Levite of second degree appointed as singer (1Ch_15:18) with ?psalteries Set to Alamoth? (1Ch_15:20; 1Ch_16:5).
(5) A priest appointed ?to blow the trumpet before the ark of God? (1Ch_15:24; 1Ch_16:6).
(6) The father of Jehoiada (1Ch_27:34), but see (1) above.
(7) An ancestor of Jahaziel of the house of Asaph (2Ch_20:14).
(8) An overseer in the service of Hezekiah (2Ch_31:13).
(9, 10, 11, 12) Four different men of Israel who had taken ?strange wives? (Ezr_10:25, Ezr_10:30, Ezr_10:35, Ezr_10:43).
(13) The father of Pelatiah who was seen by Ezekiel in his vision (Eze_11:1, Eze_11:13).

Benai?ah, son of Jehoiada, and commander of David's guard (the Cherethites and Pelethites, 2Sa_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 (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).

Benaiah
(Heb. Benayah', בְּנָיָה, built [i.e. made or sustained] by Jehovah, 2Sa_20:23; 1Ch_4:36; 1Ch_11:22; 1Ch_11:31; 1Ch_27:14; 2Ch_20:14; Ezr_10:25; Ezr_10:30; Ezr_10:35; Ezr_10:43; Eze_11:23; elsewhere and oftener in the prolonged form, בְּנָיָהוּ, Benaya'hu; Sept. generally [also Josephus, Ant. 7, 11, 8] Βαναίας, in Chron. occasionally v. r. Βαναία, and in Ezra Βαναϊvα, rarely any other v. r., e.g. Βαναϊvας, Βαναϊv), the name of a large number of men in the O.T.
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.
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.
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.
3. A Levite in the time of David, who “played with a psaltery on Alamoth” at the removal of the ark (1Ch_15:18; 1Ch_15:20; 1Ch_16:5). B.C. 1043.
4. A priest in the time of David, appointed to blow the trumpet before the ark when brought to Jerusalem (1Ch_15:24; 1Ch_16:6). B.C. 1043.
5. The son of Jeiel, and father of Zechariah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph (2Ch_20:14). B.C. considerably ante 890.
6. A Levite in the time of Hezekiah, one of the “overseers (פְּקַידַים) of offerings” (2Ch_31:13). B.C. 726.
7. One of the “princes” (נְשַׂיאַים) of the families of Simeon who dispossessed the Amalekites from the pasture-grounds of Gedor (1Ch_4:36). B.C. cir. 713.
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.
9. One of the “sons” of Parosh, who divorced his Gentile wife after the return from Babylon (Ezr_10:25). B.C. 458.
10. Another Israelite, of the “sons” of Pahathmoab, who did the same (Ezr_10:30). B.C. 458.
11. Another, of the “sons” of Bani, who did likewise (Ezr_10:35). B.C. 458.
12. A fourth, of the “sons” of Nebo, who did the same (Ezr_10:43). B.C. 458.
