    After the flood that made a restart to the world of The Lord, Noah and his sons had the opportunity to eat meat and the vegetarian world got lost.

    After we saw what a great warrior is Benaiah, we shall go now to the beginning of the book of kings and we will examine the second option: the one that speaks about him as the terminator.
