Thus the Lord preserued Dauid whithersoeuer he went. ¹⁴ So Dauid reigned ouer all Israel, and executed iudgement and iustice among all his people. ¹⁵ And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah was ouer the hoste, and Iehoshaphat the sonne of Ahilud, Recorder. ¹⁶ And Zadok the sonne of Ahitub, and Abimelech the sonne of Abiathar, were the Priests, and Shausha was Scribe. ¹⁷ And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada was ouer the Cherethites, and the Pelethites: and the sonnes of Dauid were chiefe about the king.
