5 and more officials in the time of King David

1 Chronicles 18:14-17
David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people.

Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army;
Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar were priests;
Shavsha (or Seraiah) was secretary;
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites;
and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.

2 Samuel 8:15-18 reads the same except that it says that David's sons were priests (no doubt in the older sense of leaders or advisors)
