11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued— 12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went. 15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people: 16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder; 17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe; 18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders. 2 Samuel 8:11-18, Berean Standard Bible.
