·         David’s Administration

·         After that David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and took them to Jerusalem. And from and from Betah and from Beruthai, two other cities belonging to Hadadezer, he took much brass  And when Toi, king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, he sent his son Joram to David to salute him and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer who had fought against Toi.  And Joram brought David presents of gold and of silver and of brass, which David dedicated unto the Lord, along with all the gold and silver he had acquired from all the nations he had conquered, namely, Syria, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines and the Amalekites. And David made himself a name when he returned from smiting after he defeated eighteen thousand men of Syria in the valley of salt. And David stationed garrisons throughout all Edom and the nations whom he conquered; and David reigned over all Israel and executed justice unto all the people. And Joab Zeruiah’s son was over the host and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahihud was the recorder. And Zadok, the son of Ahitub and Ahimeleh the son of Abiathar were the priests and Seraiah was the scribe. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiaida was over both the Cherethites and Pelethites and David’s sons were chief rulers.
