joas

And Joas , the son of Yodae, the commander of the army of King Solomon, answered and said unto Bayna-Lekem, "My lord, this is a very small matter, and thou wilt find far greater joy and pleasure with my lord the King.

And Joas (read Benaiah), the commander of the army of King Solomon, answered [saying], "What is better than wisdom?

And the son of the Queen rose up, and arrayed Joas (Benaiah), the son of Yodae, and the fifty men who were in his retinue, in gorgeous raiment, and they rose up to go to Jerusalem to Solomon the King.

And when they came nigh unto the place where the horses were exercised and trained, Joas (Benaiah), the son of Yodae, went on in front, and came to the place where Solomon was, and he told him that [the son of the Queen] was well- favoured in his appearance, and that his voice was pleasant, and that he resembled him in form, and that his whole bearing was exceedingly noble.

And Joas (Benaiah) said unto him, "He is here, I will bring him quickly."

And Joas (Benaiah) went and said unto the young man, "Rise up, O my master, and come"; and making Bayna- Lekem to go quickly he brought him to the King's Gate.

And when Joas (Benaiah), the son of Yodae, came in again to announce to the King the arrival of the young man, there was none standing before the King, but all Israel had thronged outside to see him.

And Joas (Benaiah), the son of Yodae, went out and brought Bayna- Lekem inside.

And they brought the young man into the Holy of Holies, and he laid hold upon the horns of the altar, and sovereignty was given unto him by the mouth of Zadok the priest, and by the mouth of Joas (Benaiah) the priest, the commander of the army of King Solomon, and he anointed him with the holy oil of the ointment of kingship.
