22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice, and they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and called his troops back from the attack. They all returned to their homes, and Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.
23 Now Joab was the commander of the army of Israel. Benaiah son of Jehoiada was captain of the king’s bodyguard.
24 Adoniram was in charge of forced labor. Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the royal historian.
25 Sheva was the court secretary. Zadok and Abiathar were the priests.
26 And Ira, a descendant of Jair, was David’s personal priest.
