13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand. 14 And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants of the King. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went. 15 And David reigned over Israel, exercising justice and righteousness for all his people. 16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abiathar the son of Ahimelech, were priests; and Shisha was scribe; 18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada supervised the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers. 2 Samuel 8:13-18, New Heart English Bible.
