And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;and Adoram was over the men subject to taskwork; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
