13 And David (beloved) made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites [Arameans] in the Valley of Salt. 14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom (red), and all the Edomites were subject to David (beloved). So the LORD {YHWH} made David victorious wherever he went. 15 Thus David (beloved) reigned over all Israel (he wrestles with God) and administered justice and righteousness for all his people: 16 Joab (YHWH is father) son of Zeruiah (balsam) was over the army; Jehoshaphat (YHWH has judged) son of Ahilud (child's brother) was the recorder; 17 Zadok (righteous) son of Ahitub (my brother is goodness) and Ahimelech (my brother is king) son of Abiathar (my father is great) were priests; Seraiah (Shavsha) was the scribe; 18 Benaiah (YHWH has built up) son of Jehoiada was over (YHWH knows) the Cherethites (executioners) and Pelethites (couriers); and David’s (beloved) sons were priestly leaders \priests/. 2 Samuel 8:13-18, Berean Annotated Bible.
