Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以色列的軍事組織
27 以色列人各家族的首領、千夫長、百夫長和服事王的所有官長,都按著他們的數目分定班次,每年按月輪班,每班有二萬四千人。 2 負責正月第一班的,是撒巴第業的兒子雅朔班,他那一班有二萬四千人。 3 他是法勒斯子孫中的首領,統管正月那一班所有的軍長。 4 負責二月那一班的是亞哈希人朵代,他那一班還有副官密基羅,他那一班有二萬四千人。 5 三月第三班的軍長是大祭司耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,他那一班有二萬四千人。 6 這比拿雅是那三十位勇士中的一位,管理那三十人;他那一班還有他的兒子暗米薩拔。 7 四月第四班的軍長是約押的兄弟亞撒黑,接續他的是他的兒子西巴第雅;他那一班有二萬四千人。 8 五月第五班的軍長是伊斯拉人珊合,他那一班有二萬四千人。 9 六月第六班的軍長是提哥亞人益吉的兒子以拉,他那一班有二萬四千人。 10 七月第七班的軍長是以法蓮子孫中比倫人希利斯,他那一班有二萬四千人。 11 八月第八班的軍長是謝拉家族戶沙人西比該,他那一班有二萬四千人。 12 九月第九班的軍長是便雅憫支派亞拿突人亞比以謝,他那一班有二萬四千人。 13 十月第十班的軍長是謝拉家族尼陀法人瑪哈萊,他那一班有二萬四千人。 14 十一月第十一班的軍長是以法蓮子孫中的比拉頓人比拿雅,他那一班有二萬四千人。 15 十二月第十二班的軍長是俄陀聶家族尼陀法人黑玳,他那一班有二萬四千人。
以色列各支派的領袖
16 掌管以色列各支派的記在下面:流本支派的首領是細基利的兒子以利以謝;西緬支派的首領是瑪迦的兒子示法提雅; 17 利未支派的首領是基母利的兒子哈沙比雅;亞倫子孫的首領是撒督; 18 猶大支派的首領是大衛的哥哥以利戶;以薩迦支派的首領是米迦勒的兒子暗利; 19 西布倫支派的首領是俄巴第雅的兒子伊施瑪雅;拿弗他利支派的首領是亞斯列的兒子耶利摩; 20 以法蓮支派的首領是阿撒細雅的兒子何細亞;瑪拿西半個支派的首領是毘大雅的兒子約珥; 21 基列地瑪拿西那半個支派的首領是撒迦利亞的兒子易多;便雅憫支派的首領是押尼珥的兒子雅西業; 22 但支派的首領是耶羅罕的兒子亞薩列。以上這些人是以色列各支派的領袖。 23 以色列人二十歲以下的,大衛都沒有登記他們的數目,因為耶和華曾經說過要增添以色列人的數目,好像天上的星那樣多。 24 洗魯雅的兒子約押開始數點,但還沒有完成,為了這事耶和華的忿怒就臨到以色列人身上,所以以色列的人數沒有記在大衛王的年錄上。
王室財政與產業的主管
25 管理王的庫房的,是亞疊的兒子押斯馬威;管理郊野、城市、鄉村和望樓的倉庫的,是烏西雅的兒子約拿單; 26 管理耕田種地的,是基綠的兒子以斯利; 27 管理葡萄園的,是拉瑪人示每;管理園裡酒庫的,是實弗米人撒巴底; 28 管理高原橄欖樹和桑樹的,是基第利人巴力.哈南;管理油庫的,是約阿施; 29 管理在沙崙牧放的牛群的,是沙崙人施提賚;管理在山谷的牛群的,是亞第賚的兒子沙法; 30 管理駱駝的,是以實瑪利人阿比勒;管理驢群的,是米崙人耶希底亞; 31 管理羊群的,是夏甲人雅悉。以上這些人都是給大衛王管理產業的官員。

32 大衛的叔父約拿單是一個謀士;這人很有智慧,又是一個經學家;哈摩尼的兒子耶歇是王眾子的老師。 33 亞希多弗也是王的謀士;亞基人戶篩是王的朋友; 34 亞希多弗以後,有比拿雅的兒子耶何耶大和亞比亞他,接續他作謀士;約押作王的元帥。
1 Chronicles 27
The Voice
27 These are the Israelites (the families’ leaders, the commanders of hundreds and thousands) and their officers who performed their duties for the king on a monthly rotation (one division for each month of the year).
The Levites are not the only leaders in David’s government. While they do perform some duties outside of the temple, most secular work is done by the other tribes.
Each division had 24,000 men: 2-3 Jashobeam (son of Zabdiel, a Perezite) was the leader of all the commanders of the army and the leader of the first division during the first month. 4 Dodai the Ahohite and his division led the division for the second month under Mikloth, their chief officer. 5 Benaiah (son of Jehoiada, the priest) led the third division in the third month. 6 He was a powerful man, in charge of his thirty. Ammizabad (Benaiah’s son) led his father’s division. 7 Asahel (brother of Joab) and Zebadiah his son after him led the fourth division in the fourth month. 8 Shamhuth the Izrahite led the fifth division in the fifth month. 9 Ira (son of Ikkesh, the Tekoite) led the sixth division in the sixth month. 10 Helez (the Pelonite of the Ephraimites) led the seventh division in the seventh month. 11 Sibbecai (the Hushathite of the Zerahites) led the eighth division in the eighth month. 12 Abiezer (the Anathothite of the Benjaminites) led the ninth division in the ninth month. 13 Maharai (the Netophathite of the Zerahites) led the tenth division in the tenth month. 14 Benaiah (the Pirathonite of the Ephraimites) led the eleventh division in the eleventh month. 15 Heldai (the Netophathite of Othniel) led the twelfth division in the twelfth month.
16 Each of the tribes of Israel had leaders from within their families: the leader of the Reubenites was Eliezer (son of Zichri); for the Simeonites was Shephatiah (son of Maacah); 17 for the Levites was Hashabiah (son of Kemuel); for the Aaronites (a part of the Levite clan) was Zadok; 18 for the Judahites was Elihu (one of King David’s brothers); for the Issacharites was Omri (son of Michael); 19 for the Zebulunites was Ishmaiah (son of Obadiah); for the Naphtalites was Jeremoth (son of Azriel); 20 for the Ephraimites was Hoshea (son of Azaziah); for the half-tribe of the Manassehites was Joel (son of Pedaiah); 21 for the portion of the half-tribe of Manassehites that was separated from the others in Gilead was Iddo (son of Zechariah); for the Benjaminites was Jaasiel (son of Abner); 22 for the Danites was Azarel (son of Jeroham). These men were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 When David conducted the census, he did not count anyone 20 years of age and younger because the Eternal had said He would make the population of Israel innumerable, like the stars of heaven. 24 Joab (son of Zeruiah) intended to count them, but he did not finish. It was because Joab attempted to count the innumerable that God was angry at Israel and punished them. Because the census angered God so much, its results are not recorded in the chronicles of King David.
The exile takes a toll not just on the lives of the Jews, but also on Israel herself. The chronicles of King David are among several historical documents stored in the royal archives. When the Babylonians attack Jerusalem and destroy Solomon’s temple, those official records are lost as well. Israel loses significant portions of the nation’s written history, so that history remains only in the oral traditions of the people. Because of this loss of history, the chronicler writes this book for the Jews—so that their descendants will have a testament to the early history and the greatness of the Israelites before they are forgotten.
25 These are other officials in David’s government: Azmaveth (son of Adiel) managed the king’s own storehouses. Jonathan (son of Uzziah) managed the storehouses that did not belong directly to the king in the country, cities, villages, and towers. 26 Ezri (son of Chelub) managed the farmhands who tilled the soil. 27 Shimei (the Ramathite) managed the vineyards, and Zabdi (the Shiphmite) managed the grapes and wine stored in the wine cellars. 28 Baal-hanan (the Gederite) managed the olive and sycamore trees in the Shephelah, and Joash managed oil stored in the storehouses. 29 Shitrai (the Sharonite) managed the cattle grazing in Sharon, and Shaphat (son of Adlai) managed the cattle grazing in the valleys. 30 Obil (the Ishmaelite) managed the camels. Jehdeiah (the Meronothite) managed the donkeys. 31 Jaziz (the Hagrite) managed the flocks. These men were the managers of King David’s property.
32 Jonathan (David’s uncle) was a counselor, a discerning man, and a scribe. Jehiel (son of Hachmoni) was a companion of and attendant for the king’s sons. 33-34 Ahithophel was counselor to the king, and he was succeeded by Jehoiada (son of Benaiah) and Abiathar. Hushai (the Archite) was the king’s confidant. Joab was the leader of the king’s army.

Army Divisions
27 This is the list of the Israelites—heads of families, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and their officers, who served the king in all that concerned the army divisions that were on duty month by month throughout the year. Each division consisted of 24,000 men.

Leaders of the Tribes
16 The leaders of the tribes of Israel:
over the Reubenites: Eliezer son of Zikri;
over the Simeonites: Shephatiah son of Maakah;
17 over Levi: Hashabiah(N) son of Kemuel;
over Aaron: Zadok;(O)
18 over Judah: Elihu, a brother of David;
over Issachar: Omri son of Michael;
19 over Zebulun: Ishmaiah son of Obadiah;
over Naphtali: Jerimoth son of Azriel;
20 over the Ephraimites: Hoshea son of Azaziah;
over half the tribe of Manasseh: Joel son of Pedaiah;
21 over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead: Iddo son of Zechariah;
over Benjamin: Jaasiel son of Abner;
22 over Dan: Azarel son of Jeroham.
These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less,(P) because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars(Q) in the sky. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. God’s wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering,(R) and the number was not entered in the book[a] of the annals of King David.
