Войсковое деление

27 Вот перечень израильтян – глав семейств, тысячников, и сотников, и их чиновников, которые служили царю во всем, что относилось к войсковым отделениям, несшим службу по месяцу в течение года. В каждом отделении было двадцать четыре тысячи воинов.

Во главе первого отделения для первого месяца стоял Иашовеам, сын Завдиила. В его отделении было двадцать четыре тысячи воинов. Он был потомком Пареца и главой всех военачальников в первый месяц.

Третьим военачальником для третьего месяца был Беная, сын священника Иодая. Он был вождем, и в его отделении было двадцать четыре тысячи воинов. Это тот Беная, который был могучим воином среди тех тридцати и начальником над ними. Его сын Аммизавад стоял над его отделением.

Четвертым для четвертого месяца был Асаил, брат Иоава; его сын Зевадия был его преемником. В его отделении было двадцать четыре тысячи воинов.

Вожди израильских родов

16 Вождями родов Израиля были:

у Рувима: Элиезер, сын Зихрия;

у Симеона: Шефатия, сын Маахи;

17 у Левия: Хашавия, сын Кемуила;

у Аарона: Цадок;

22 у Дана: Азариил, сын Иерохама.

Это вожди родов Израиля.

23 Давид не считал тех, кому было двадцать лет или меньше, потому что Господь обещал сделать Израиль многочисленным, как звезды на небе. 24 Иоав, сын Саруи, начал пересчитывать народ, но не закончил: гнев за эту перепись постиг Израиль, и ее результат не был вписан в «Летопись царя Давида».

Царские сановники

25 Азмавету, сыну Адиила, было поручено смотреть за царскими кладовыми.

Это сановники, которым было поручено смотреть за добром царя Давида.

Советники Давида

32 Ионафан, дядя Давида, проницательный человек и писарь, был советником. Иехиил, сын Хахмония, воспитывал царских сыновей.

33 Ахитофел был царским советником.

Аркитянин Хусий был другом царя. 34 Преемниками Ахитофела были Иодай, сын Бенаи, и Авиатар.

Иоав стоял во главе царского войска.
