12. Moreover, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, smote Edom in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men.
13. And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s slaves. Thus the Lord saved David wherever he went.
14. So David reigned over all Israel and executed judgment and righteousness among all his people.
15. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the host; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, writer of the chronicles;
16. and Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17. and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were first, at the hand of the king.
