1 Chronicles 11:22 -

Benaiah , His father Jehoiada was chief priest ( 1 Chronicles 27:5 ). Benaiah was, therefore, a Levite by tribe, though Kabzeel ( Joshua 15:21 ) was in Judah far south. He was "captain of the host for the third month… and in his course were twenty and four thousand" ( 1 Chronicles 27:5 ). When in our 1 Chronicles 11:25 it is said that "David set him over his guard," the allusion probably is to his uniform and prolonged command of "the Cherethites and Pelethites" ( 2 Samuel 8:18 ; 2 Samuel 20:23 ; 1 Kings 1:38 ; 1 Chronicles 18:17 ). His fidelity and influence remained into Solomon's time ( 1 Kings 1:8 , 1 Kings 1:10 , 1 Kings 1:32 , 1 Kings 1:38 , 1 Kings 1:44 ; 1 Kings 2:35 ; 1 Kings 4:4 ).
