1 Chronicles 18:12-17 ▼

12 Zeruiah's son Abishai killed 18,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley.

13 He erected garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became subservient to David, while the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 So David reigned over all of Israel, administering justice and equity to all of his people.

15 Zeruiah's son Joab served in charge of the army, Ahilud's son Jehoshaphat was his personal archivist,

16 Ahitub's son Zadok and Abiathar's son Ahimelech were priests, Shavsha was his personal secretary,

17 Jehoiada's son Benaiah supervised the special forces and mercenaries, while David's sons worked as chief officials in service to the king.
