2 Samuel 8:12-18

12from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Amalekites, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13David made a reputation for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in Salt Valley.

14He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.

15So David reigned over all Israel, administering justice and righteousness for all his people.

16Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was court historian;

17Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was court secretary;

18Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials.
