1 Chronicles 18:9-17

9 Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck down the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah.
10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet and congratulate him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer were old enemies. Hadoram brought David various things made of silver, gold, and bronze.
11 King David consecrated these things along with the silver and gold that he had plundered from other nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Abishai son of Zeruiah fought and defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt - 18,000 of them.
13 He set up a puppet government in Edom and the Edomites became subjects under David. God gave David victory wherever he marched.
14 Thus David ruled over all of Israel. He ruled well, fair and evenhanded in all his duties and relationships.
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was head of the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was in charge of public records;
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was secretary;
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the special forces, the Kerethites and Pelethites; And David's sons held high positions, close to the king.
