De verdeling van het Israëlitische leger
27 Het Israëlitische leger was verdeeld in twaalf regimenten van elk vierentwintigduizend man. Daarbij waren de officieren en de administratieve staf inbegrepen. Gedurende één maand per jaar werd elk onderdeel voor actieve dienst opgeroepen. Hier volgt een lijst van de regimenten en hun commandanten. 2,3 De commandant van de eerste afdeling was Jasobam, de zoon van Zabdiël en nakomeling van Peres. Hij stond aan het hoofd van vierentwintigduizend man en zijn onderdeel kwam in de eerste maand van het jaar op voor actieve dienst. 4 De commandant van de tweede afdeling was Dodai, een nakomeling van Ahoch. In de tweede maand van het jaar kwamen zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen op voor actieve dienst. Mikloth was zijn ondercommandant. 5,6 De commandant van het derde regiment was Benaja. Zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen kwamen de derde maand van het jaar in actieve dienst. Hij was een zoon van de hogepriester Jojada en stond aan het hoofd van de dertig hoogste officieren in Davids leger. Zijn zoon Ammizabad was ondercommandant. 7 De commandant van het vierde regiment was Asaël, de broer van Joab. Zijn zoon Zebadja nam later het commando van hem over. Hij en zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen deden actieve dienst in de vierde maand van het jaar. 8 De commandant van het vijfde regiment was Samhuth uit Jizrah. Zijn vierentwintigduizend manschappen waren in de vijfde maand in actieve dienst. 9 Ira, de zoon van Ikkes uit Tekoa, was commandant van het zesde regiment. De zesde maand van het jaar kwamen hij en zijn mannen in actieve dienst. 10 De commandant van het zevende regiment was de Peloniet Helez uit het geslacht van Efraïm. Hij en zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen kwamen op in de zevende maand van het jaar. 11 Aan het hoofd van het achtste regiment stond Sibbechai. Hij hoorde bij de familie der Hussathieten, die deel uitmaakte van de familie van Zerach. Zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen kwamen in de achtste maand van het jaar op. 12 De commandant van het negende regiment was Abiëzer, lid van de Anathothieten uit de stam van Benjamin. Onder zijn commando kwamen in de negende maand van het jaar vierentwintigduizend mannen in actieve dienst. 13 De commandant van het tiende regiment was Maharai, de Netofathiet uit de familie van Zerach en de tiende maand van het jaar was de maand waarin hij en zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen in actieve dienst kwamen. 14 De commandant van het elfde regiment was de Pirathoniet Benaja uit het geslacht van Efraïm. Hij en zijn vierentwintigduizend mannen kwamen in de elfde maand van het jaar op. 15 Commandant van het twaalfde regiment was de Netofathiet Heldai, een nakomeling van Othniël, die in de twaalfde maand van het jaar met zijn vierentwintigduizend manschappen in actieve dienst kwam.
16-22 Aan het hoofd van de stammen van Israël stonden in die tijd de volgende mensen: Eliëzer, de zoon van Zichri, voor de stam van Ruben; Sefatja, de zoon van Maächa, voor de stam van Simeon; Hasabja, de zoon van Kemuël, voor de stam van Levi; Zadok, voor de nakomelingen van Aäron; Elihu, een broer van koning David, voor de stam van Juda; Omri, de zoon van Michaël, voor de stam van Issachar; Jismaja, de zoon van Obadja, voor de stam van Zebulon; Jerimoth, de zoon van Azriël, voor de stam van Naftali; Hosea, de zoon van Azazja, voor de stam van Efraïm; Joël, de zoon van Pedaja, voor de ene helft van de stam van Manasse; Jiddo, de zoon van Zecharja, voor de andere helft van de stam van Manasse die in Gilead woonde; Jaäsiël, de zoon van Abner, voor de stam van Benjamin; Azareël, de zoon van Jeroham voor de stam van Dan.
23 Toen David zijn volkstelling hield, rekende hij de mannen van twintig jaar en jonger niet mee, want de Here had beloofd dat zijn volk zo talrijk zou worden als de sterren aan de hemel. 24 Joab begon met de volkstelling, maar voerde hem niet helemaal uit omdat de Here in toorn tegen Israël uitbarstte. De uiteindelijke tellingen werden nooit opgenomen in de geschiedschrijving van koning David.
25 Azmaveth, de zoon van Adiël, had de financiële verantwoordelijkheid voor de kostbaarheden in de schatkamers van het paleis en Jonathan, de zoon van Uzzia, ging over de voorraden op het platteland en die in de steden, dorpen en forten van Israël. 26 Ezri, de zoon van Kelub, had de leiding over het werk op de koninklijke landerijen. 27 De Ramathiet Simi was beheerder van de koninklijke wijngaarden, de Sifmiet Zabdi was verantwoordelijk voor de wijnproductie en de opslag van de wijn. 28 Baäl-Hanan uit Gedera was verantwoordelijk voor de olijfbomen en de wilde vijgebomen die groeiden in het laagland. Joas ging over de olijfolievoorraden. 29 Sitrai uit Saron had de verantwoording over het vee op de vlakte van Saron en Safat, de zoon van Adlai, hield toezicht op het vee in de dalen. 30 Obil, afkomstig uit het gebied van Ismaël, had de zorg voor de kamelen en Jehdeja uit Meronoth voor de ezels. 31 De schapen vielen onder de verantwoordelijkheid van de Hagriet Jaziz. Deze mannen waren de beheerders van koning Davids bezittingen. 32 Jonathan, Davids oom, was adviseur van de koning. Hij was een wijze man en fungeerde als secretaris. Jehiël, de zoon van Hachmoni, begeleidde Davids zonen. 33 Achitofel was ook een adviseur van de koning en de Arkiet Husai was Davids persoonlijke raadsman. 34 Achitofel werd terzijde gestaan door Jojada, de zoon van Benaja, en Abjathar. Joab was opperbevelhebber van het Israëlitische leger.

5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
6 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.

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 sycomore 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 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.
