BENAIAH

be-na'-ya, be-ni'-a (benayah, benayahu, "Yahweh has built." Compare HPN, 182, 265, 268):

(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; month 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 (1 Chronicles 27:5 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, 10, 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).

(2) Benaiah, a Pirathonite (compare Judges 12:13, 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).

(3) A ruler of the house of Simeon (1 Chronicles 4:36).

(4) A Levite of second degree appointed as singer (1 Chronicles 15:18) with "psalteries Set to Alamoth" (1 Chronicles 15:20; 1 Chronicles 16:5).

(5) A priest appointed "to blow the trumpet before the ark of God" (1 Chronicles 15:24; 1 Chronicles 16:6).

(6) The father of Jehoiada (1 Chronicles 27:34), but see (1) above.

(7) An ancestor of Jahaziel of the house of Asaph (2 Chronicles 20:14).

(8) An overseer in the service of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:13).

(9, 10, 11, 12) Four different men of Israel who had taken "strange wives" (Ezra 10:25, 30, 35, 43).

(13) The father of Pelatiah who was seen by Ezekiel in his vision (Ezekiel 11:1, 13).
