2 Samuel 8:11-18

11 These also did king David dedicate to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
12 of Aram, and of Mo'av, and of the children of `Ammon, and of the Pelishtim, and of `Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadad`ezer, son of Rechov, king of Tzovah.
13 David got him a name when he returned from smiting the Aram in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.
14 He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edom became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 David reigned over all Yisra'el; and David executed justice and righteousness to all his people.
16 Yo'av the son of Tzeru'yah was over the host; and Yehoshafat the son of Achilud was recorder;
17 and Tzadok the son of Achituv, and Achimelekh the son of Avyatar, were Kohanim; and Serayah was Sofer;
18 and Benayah the son of Yehoiada [was over] the Kereti and the Peleti; and David's sons were chief ministers.
