'Officials' in the Bible

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was overthe Cherethites and the Pelethites;and David’s sons were chief officials.

But when David's delegation arrived in Ammonite territory, the Ammonite officials asked their lord Hanun, "Do you think that because David has sent a delegation of consolers to you that he is honoring your father? His delegation has arrived intending to search, scout the land, and then overthrow it, hasn't it?"
