Joab commanded the entire army of Israel, Jehoiada's son Benaiah commanded the special forces and mercenaries,

Jehoiada's son Benaiah, who was a valiant man, accomplished great things. He was from Kabzeel. He killed two men named Ariel from Moab and then he also went down into a pit and struck down a lion during a snow storm one day.

He also killed a soldier from Egypt. Of handsome appearance, the Egyptian carried a spear, but Benaiah attacked him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

Benaiah did things like this and gained a reputation comparable to the Three warriors.
