Chapter 27 |
| 1 | Now the
children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains
of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any
matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all
the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.
|
| 2 | Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of
Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. |
| 3 | Of the
children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first

| 4 |
And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite,
and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were
twenty and four thousand. |
|
5 | The third captain of the host for the
third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course

|
6 | This is that Benaiah, who was mighty

| 16 | Furthermore over the tribes

Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah: |
|
17 | Of the Levites,
Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok: |
| 18 | Of Judah,
Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of
Michael: |
| 19
| Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali,
Jerimoth the son of Azriel: |

|
| 21 | Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of
Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner: |
| 22 | Of Dan, Azareel the son of
Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel. |
| 23 | But
David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the
LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
|
| 24 | Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because
there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the
account of the chronicles of king David. |
|
25 | And over the king's
treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the
fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan
the son of Uzziah: |
| 26 | And over them that did the work of the field
for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: |
| 27 | And over the
vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the
wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: |
| 28 | And over the olive trees and
the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and
over the cellars of oil was Joash: |
| 29 | And over the herds that fed
in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the
valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: |
| 30 | Over the camels also was Obil
the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: |
| 31 |
And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the
substance which was king David's. |
| 32 | Also Jonathan David's uncle
was a counselor, 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 counselor: 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. |
