Officers with authority over Israel's tribes

16 This is a list of the officers who had authority over Israel's tribes:

For Reuben: Zikri's son, Eliezer.

For Simeon: Maakah's son, Shephatiah.

17 For Levi: Kemuel's son, Hashabiah. Zadok had authority over the descendants of Aaron.[a]

18 For Judah: Elihu, a brother of David.

For Issachar: Michael's son, Omri.

22 For Dan: Jeroham's son, Azarel.

Those were the officers who led the tribes of Israel.

23 The Lord had promised to make Israel a nation with as many people as there are stars in the sky. So King David did not count the men who were less than 20 years old. 24 Zeruiah's son Joab had begun to count the men. He did not finish counting them because the Lord started to punish Israel. So nobody wrote the number in the history book about King David's life.

Other officers who served the king

25 Adiel's son Azmaveth had authority over the places in the palace where the king stored his valuable things.

Uzziah's son Jonathan had authority over the places in the different regions of Israel where the king stored his things. Those places were in towns, in villages and in strong towers.

These were the officers who had authority to take care of King David's things.

Hakmoni's son Jehiel taught the king's sons.

Commanders of the Divisions

27 Now this is the total count of the sons of Israel, the heads of fathers’ households, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers who ministered to the king in each matter of the divisions which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each division numbering 24,000:

He was from the sons of Perez, and was chief of all the commanders of the army for the first month.
Dodai the Ahohite and his division were over the division for the second month, Mikloth being the chief officer; and in his division were 24,000.
The third commander of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, as chief; and in his division were 24,000.
This Benaiah was the mighty man of the thirty, and was over thirty; and over his division was Ammizabad his son.

10 The seventh for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite of the sons of Ephraim; and in his division were 24,000.

Chief Officers of the Tribes

16 Now those over the tribes of Israel:

chief officer for the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri;
for the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah;
17 for Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel;
for Aaron, Zadok;
18 for Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers;
for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;
19 for Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah;

for the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;
21 for the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah;
for Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;
22 for Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham.
(B)These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David did not take up a count of those twenty years of age and under, (C)because Yahweh had said He would multiply Israel (D)as the stars of heaven. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah had begun to number them, but did not finish; and because of (E)this, wrath came upon Israel, and [a]this count was not included in the total count of the chronicles of King David.

Officials over David’s Possessions

25 Now Azmaveth the son of Adiel was over the king’s storehouses.
And Jonathan the son of Uzziah was over the storehouses in the country, in the cities, in the villages and in the towers.
26 Ezri the son of Chelub was over the [b]workers of the field who cultivated the soil.
27 Shimei the Ramathite was over the vineyards;
and Zabdi the Shiphmite was over the [c]produce of the vineyards stored in the wine cellars.
28 Baal-hanan the Gederite was over the olive and (F)sycamore trees in the [d]Shephelah;

All these were officials over the possessions which belonged to King David.

and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons.
33 (I)Ahithophel was counselor to the king;
and (J)Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.
