1 Chronicles 18:9-17

9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Zobah's King Hadadezer,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and congratulate him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer. (There had often been war between Hadadezer and Tou.)
11 King David dedicated all the articles of gold, silver, and bronze to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had taken from other nations--from Edom, Moab, Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Zeruiah's son Abishai killed 18,000 Edomites in the Dead Sea region.
13 He put troops in Edom, and all its people became David's subjects. Everywhere David went, the LORD gave him victories.
14 So David ruled all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
15 Zeruiah's son Joab was in charge of the army. Ahilud's son Jehoshaphat was the royal historian.
16 Ahitub's son Zadok and Abiathar's son Abimelech were priests. Shavsha was the royal scribe.
17 Jehoiada's son Benaiah was commander of the Cherethites and the Pelethites. And David's sons were his main officials.
