(16) And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; (17) And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; (18) And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
The officers and servants in David's court, are here made honourable mention of. But oh! how infinitely more honourable are the followers in the court of Jesus, whose names are written in the book of life. There, Lord, be it my portion to be found, when thou cometh to make up thy jewels. Philippians 4:3; Revelation 20:15; Malachi 3:17.
