2 Samuel 8:13-18
American Standard Version
13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting [a]the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men. 14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah [b]gave victory to David whithersoever he went.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness unto all his people. 16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was [c]recorder; 17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Seraiah was [d]scribe; 18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [e]was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were [f]chief ministers.
