Benaiah
Topical Encyclopedia
Benaiah, a prominent figure in the Old Testament, is recognized for his valor, loyalty, and leadership. His account is primarily found in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior from Kabzeel, and he became one of King David's mighty men, eventually rising to a position of great authority under King Solomon.

Lineage and Early Exploits

Benaiah hailed from Kabzeel, a town in the southern part of Judah. His father, Jehoiada, was a priest, which suggests that Benaiah was of Levitical descent. Benaiah's early exploits are recorded in2 Samuel 23:20-23 and1 Chronicles 11:22-25. He is noted for his extraordinary acts of bravery, including striking down two Moabite warriors, killing a lion in a pit on a snowy day, and defeating a formidable Egyptian warrior by seizing the Egyptian's own spear.

Role in David's Reign

Benaiah's loyalty and courage earned him a place among David's elite group of warriors known as "The Thirty," and he was later appointed as the commander of David's bodyguard, the Cherethites and Pelethites (2 Samuel 8:18;1 Chronicles 18:17). His unwavering support for David is evident throughout the king's reign, and he played a crucial role in maintaining the security and stability of the kingdom.

Support for Solomon

Benaiah's loyalty extended to David's son, Solomon. During the tumultuous period of succession, Benaiah supported Solomon against Adonijah, who attempted to usurp the throne. At David's command, Benaiah executed Adonijah, Joab, and Shimei, thereby securing Solomon's position as king (1 Kings 2:25, 34, 46). His actions demonstrated his commitment to the divinely ordained leadership and the continuity of David's dynasty.

Position under Solomon

Under Solomon, Benaiah was appointed as the commander of the army, succeeding Joab (1 Kings 2:35). This position underscored his military prowess and the trust Solomon placed in him. Benaiah's leadership contributed to the peace and prosperity of Solomon's reign, as he was instrumental in maintaining order and defending the kingdom from external threats.

Legacy

Benaiah's legacy is one of faithfulness, strength, and dedication to God's chosen leaders. His life exemplifies the virtues of courage and loyalty, and he is remembered as a key figure in the establishment and preservation of the united monarchy of Israel. His account serves as an inspiration for those who seek to serve God and His anointed leaders with integrity and valor.

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 (compareJoshua 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 compare1 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 27:52 Samuel 8:18;2 Samuel 20:231 Chronicles 18:172 Samuel 23:20;2 Samuel 11:22). Being a true friend of David (compare2 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 (compareJudges 12:13, 15), was one of David's 30 mighty men (2 Samuel 23:301 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).
