1 Chronicles 27:29-34

29 And Shitrai the Sharonite was responsible for the herds in the grass-lands of Sharon, and Shaphat, the son of Adlai, for those in the valleys;

30 Obil the Ishmaelite had control of the camels and Jehdeiah the Meronothite of the she-asses;

31 The flocks were in the care of Jaziz the Hagarite. All these were the controllers of King David's property.

32 Now Jonathan, David's father's brother, expert in discussion, and a man of good sense, was a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni, had the care of the king's sons;

33 And Ahithophel was the king's expert in discussion and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend.

34 After Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar; and the captain of the king's army was Joab.
