1 Chronicles 27:32-34 King James Version (KJV)
32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:
33 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion:
34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.
1 Chronicles 27:32-34 Expanded Bible (EXB)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
32 David trusted him because being his uncle and with close family ties of the day, he would have trusted him, it is likely he went to him for advise before being king, this would have allowed him to know he was wise or saw people go to his uncle for advice. Having someone who knew the law would keep him from making mistakes that he was unaware of, he wanted to do everything in the Lord’s will. We should both have wise counsel and study God’s word as well as have teachers of the word in our life.
33 So we see how he has another counsel, it is wise to have more then one counsel but unwise to have many so we hear what we want to.
34 He had someone advice him with war, even though he was a great warrior himself, this may have been his right hand man with war off the battle field.
