18 Be·naiʹah+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·da was over the Cherʹe·thites and the Pelʹe·thites.+ And David’s sons became chief ministers.*

38 Then Zaʹdok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Be·naiʹah+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·da, and the Cherʹe·thites and the Pelʹe·thites+ went down and had Solʹo·mon ride on the mule of King David,+ and they brought him to Giʹhon.+

17 Be·naiʹah the son of Je·hoiʹa·da was over the Cherʹe·thites+ and the Pelʹe·thites.+ And David’s sons were first in position next to the king.

16 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Here I am stretching out my hand against the Phi·lisʹtines,+ and I will cut off the Cherʹe·thites+ and will destroy the remaining inhabitants of the seacoast.+

 5 “Woe to those who inhabit the seacoast, the nation of Cherʹe·thites!+

The word of Jehovah is against you.
