以色列各支派的官長
16 以下是以色列各支派的首領：呂便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姆利的兒子哈沙比雅；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毗大雅的兒子約珥； 21 基列的瑪拿西另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首領。 23 大衛沒有統計二十歲以下的以色列人，因為耶和華曾經應許要使以色列的人數像天上的星那樣多。 24 洗魯雅的兒子約押開始統計人數，但沒有完成，因為耶和華因此事而向以色列人發烈怒，因此統計的數目沒有收錄在大衛王記上。

32 大衛的叔叔約拿單很精明，任謀士和書記。哈摩尼的兒子耶歇做眾王子的老師。 33 亞希多弗也是王的謀士。亞基人戶篩是王的朋友。 34 後來，比拿雅的兒子耶何耶大和亞比亞他接替亞希多弗做謀士。約押在王的軍隊中做元帥。

Army Commanders.[a] 1 This is the list of the Israelite family heads, commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and other officers who served the king in all that pertained to the divisions, of twenty-four thousand men each, that came and went month by month throughout the year.
2 Over the first division for the first month was Ishbaal, son of Zabdiel, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men; 3 a descendant of Perez, he was chief over all the commanders of the army for the first month. 4 Over the division of the second month was Eleazar, son of Dodo, from Ahoh, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men.(A) 5 (B)The third army commander, for the third month, was Benaiah, son of Jehoiada the chief priest, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 6 This Benaiah was a warrior among the Thirty and over the Thirty. His son Ammizabad was over his division. 7 Fourth, for the fourth month, was Asahel, brother of Joab, and after him his son Zebadiah, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men.(C) 8 Fifth, for the fifth month, was the commander Shamhuth, a descendant of Zerah, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 9 Sixth, for the sixth month, was Ira, son of Ikkesh, from Tekoa, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 10 Seventh, for the seventh month, was Hellez, from Beth-pelet, of the Ephraimites, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 11 Eighth, for the eighth month, was Sibbecai the Hushathite, a descendant of Zerah, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men.(D) 12 Ninth, for the ninth month, was Abiezer from Anathoth, of Benjamin, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 13 Tenth, for the tenth month, was Maharai from Netophah, a descendant of Zerah, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 14 Eleventh, for the eleventh month, was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the Ephraimites, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men. 15 Twelfth, for the twelfth month, was Heldai the Netophathite, of the family of Othniel, and in his division were twenty-four thousand men.

These were the commanders of the tribes of Israel.
23 David did not count those who were twenty years of age or younger, for the Lord had promised to multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.(F) 24 Joab, son of Zeruiah, began to take the census, but he did not complete it, for because of it wrath fell upon Israel. Therefore the number was not recorded in the book of chronicles of King David.(G)
Overseers. 25 Over the treasuries of the king was Azmaveth,(H) the son of Adiel. Over the treasuries in the country, the cities, the villages, and the towers was Jonathan, son of Uzziah. 26 Over the farm workers who tilled the soil was Ezri, son of Chelub. 27 Over the vineyards was Shimei from Ramah, and over their produce for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite. 28 Over the olive trees and sycamores of the Shephelah was Baalhanan the Gederite, and over the stores of oil was Joash. 29 Over the cattle that grazed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite, and over the cattle in the valleys was Shaphat, the son of Adlai; 30 over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite; over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite; 31 and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. All these were the overseers of King David’s possessions.
David’s Court. 32 Jonathan, David’s uncle and a man of intelligence, was counselor and scribe; he and Jehiel, the son of Hachmoni, attended the king’s sons. 33 Ahithophel was also the king’s counselor, and Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.(I) 34 After Ahithophel[b] came Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. The commander of the king’s army was Joab.
Footnotes
- 27:1–15 This list of army commanders is similar to, but distinct from, the list of David’s warriors given in 11:10–47. The schematic enumeration of the soldiers presented here appears artificial and exaggerated (12 x 24,000 = 288,000 men!). However, the Hebrew word (’eleph) translated “thousand” might also designate a military unit of much smaller size.
- 27:34 After Ahithophel: after Ahithophel’s suicide (2 Sm 17:23), Jehoiada succeeded him as the king’s counselor. Abiathar: David’s priest, along with Zadok. See note on 18:16.
