Joab was commander-in-chief; and Benaiah, son of the high-priest, was captain of his body-guard, composed chiefly of foreigners, after the custom of princes in most ages.

I spent most of my Sunday that way; then, finding no clouded eye among them, I began a study of the Cumberland servants, naturally starting with Zadok.

He also appointed Zadok, of the family of Phinehas, to be high priest, together with Abiathar, for he was his friend.
Then he flung me off, but not rudely. 'Why don't you stay? he asked. Then he laughed, and added, 'I'll go harness the mare. "'The key's in the kitchen, I said. 'I'll go get it for you.
