2 Samuel 23:20

Of Kabzeel; a place in Judah, Joshua 15:21. Who had done many acts: this may belong either to Benaiah, or to his father, to note that Benaiah was a son becoming such a father. Two lionlike men, for courage and strength. Or, lions of God, i.e. great and strong lions. Or, two gigantic persons; and therefore both so called, as being either equal in might, or brethren by birth. In the midst of a pit; where he put himself under a necessity, either of killing, or being killed. In time of snow; when lions are most fierce, both from the sharpness of their appetite in cold seasons, and from want of provisions, cattle being then shut up, and fed at home.
