1 Chronicles 27:34

Tree of Life Version

Ahithophel was succeeded by Jehoiada son of Benaiah and by Abiatar. Joab was the commander of the king’s army.

See the chapter Copy

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David’s sons were chief ministers.

So he conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the kohen. Following Adonijah, they supported him.

David had said, “Whoever strikes down the Jebusites first will be commander-in-chief.” So Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became commander.

Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was secretary.

The third army commander, for the third month, was Benaiah son of Jehoiada the kohen. He was leader of his division, which consisted of 24,000.
