Thematic Bible: David's


Thematic Bible



And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records; And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; read more.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.

Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites; And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder; And Sheva was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; read more.
And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.

Now Jonathan, David's father's brother, expert in discussion, and a man of good sense, was a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni, had the care of the king's sons; And Ahithophel was the king's expert in discussion and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend. After Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar; and the captain of the king's army was Joab.
