23 Now Joab was over the whole army of Israel , and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites ; 24 and Adoram was over the forced labor , and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder ; 25 and Sheva was scribe , and Zadok and Abiathar were priests ; 26 and Ira the Jairite was also a priest to David .
