14 He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and aall the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
David’s Administration
15 So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people.
16 aJoab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; bJehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 aZadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 aBenaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the bCherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
