2 Samuel 8:15

of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.

He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,

Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, Seraiah was scribe,

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