2 Samuel 20:24 In-Context

22 Then the woman went to all the people with her clever plan. They cut off Sheba's head and threw it to Joab. He blew the ram's horn, and everyone scattered and withdrew from the city and went home. Joab went back to the king in Jerusalem.
23 Now, Joab was put in charge of Israel's whole army. Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites.
24 Adoram was in charge of forced labor. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the royal historian.
25 Sheva was the royal scribe. Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
26 And Ira, a descendant of Jair, was a priest to David.
