Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers

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

| Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was
Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the 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. |
