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

“While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.”

“Now Joab was over the whole army of Israel; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites;”

“David’s uncle Jonathan was a counselor; he was a man of insight and a scribe. Jehiel son of Hachmoni attended to the sons of the king.”

“So King Solomon ruled over Israel,”

“Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to him.”

“You are sent by the king and his seven counselors to evaluate Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand.”
