1 Chronicles 18:15

AhiludJehoshaphatJoabZeruiah

13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

14 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:

Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;

16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
