He ruled well, fair and evenhanded in all his duties and relationships.Joab son of Zeruiah was head of the army;Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was in charge of public records;Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar were priests;Shavsha was secretary;Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the special forces, the Kerethites and Pelethites;And David’s sons held high positions, close to the king.
