16 These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. Eliezer son of Zicri was over the tribe of Reuben.

23 The Lord had promised to make the Israelites as many as the stars in the sky. So David only counted the men who were 20 years old and older. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the people. But he did not finish. God became angry with Israel for counting the people. So the number of the people was not put in the history book about King David’s rule.

27 A continuación viene la lista de los israelitas enumerados según los jefes de familia, de los jefes de batallones y de compañías, y de los oficiales de los que estaban al servicio del rey, para todo lo relacionado con las divisiones militares que servían por turnos mensuales durante todo el año. Cada división estaba formada por veinticuatro mil hombres.
2 Primera división, de guardia el primer mes: su jefe era Jasobeam, hijo de Zabdiel, 3 descendiente de Fares y comandante de todos los jefes de las tropas que prestaban servicio el primer mes.
4 División de guardia el segundo mes: su jefe era Dodai el ahohíta.
5 División de guardia el tercer mes: su jefe militar era Benaías, hijo del sumo sacerdote Joiadá, 6 el cual era uno de los treinta valientes y su jefe. Pero su hijo Amizabad mandaba esta división.
7 División de guardia el cuarto mes: su jefe era Asael, hermano de Joab. A él lo sucedió su hijo Zebadías.
8 División de guardia el quinto mes: su jefe era Samhut el izraíta.
9 División de guardia el sexto mes: su jefe era Irá, hijo de Iqués, del pueblo de Tecoa.
10 División de guardia el séptimo mes: su jefe era Heles el paltita, descendiente de Efraín.
11 División de guardia el octavo mes: su jefe era Sibecai el de Husá, descendiente de Zérah.
12 División de guardia el noveno mes: su jefe era Ebiézer el de Anatot, descendiente de Benjamín.
13 División de guardia el décimo mes: su jefe era Maharai el de Netofá, descendiente de Zérah.
14 División de guardia el undécimo mes: su jefe era Benaías el de Piratón, descendiente de Efraín.

16 Los jefes de las tribus de Israel eran los siguientes: de la tribu de Rubén, Eliézer, hijo de Zicrí; de la de Simeón, Sefatías, hijo de Maacá; 17 de la de Leví, Hasabías, hijo de Quemuel; de los descendientes de Aarón, Sadoc; 18 de la tribu de Judá, Elihú, un hermano de David; de la de Isacar, Omrí, hijo de Micael; 19 de la de Zabulón, Ismaías, hijo de Abdías; de la de Neftalí, Jerimot, hijo de Azriel; 20 de la de Efraín, Oseas, hijo de Azazías; de la media tribu de Manasés, Joel, hijo de Pedaías; 21 de la otra media tribu que estaba en Galaad, Idó, hijo de Zacarías; de la de Benjamín, Jaasiel, hijo de Abner; 22 de la de Dan, Azarel, hijo de Jeroham. Éstos eran los jefes de las tribus de Israel.
23 David no hizo el censo de los que tenían menos de veinte años, porque el Señor había prometido que multiplicaría a los israelitas como las estrellas del cielo. 24 Joab comenzó a hacer el censo, pero no lo terminó, porque eso trajo una calamidad a Israel. Por eso no aparece el número en el libro de las crónicas del rey David.
25 El tesorero real era Azmávet, hijo de Adiel, y el encargado de los almacenes que había en el campo, en las ciudades, en los pueblos y en las fronteras, era Jonatán, hijo de Ozías.
26 Al frente de los trabajadores que cultivaban las tierras estaba Ezrí, hijo de Quelub. 27 Al frente de los viñedos estaba Simí, de Ramat, y el encargado de recoger el vino para las bodegas era Zabdí, de Sefam. 28 Al frente de los olivares y de los bosques de higueras silvestres que había en la llanura estaba Baal-hanán, de Guéder, y de los depósitos de aceite, Joás. 29 Al frente del ganado que pastaba en Sarón estaba Sitrai, del propio Sarón, y al frente del ganado que pastaba en los valles estaba Safat, hijo de Adlai. 30 Al frente de los camellos estaba Obil, el ismaelita; de las asnas, Jehedías, de Meronot; 31 y de las ovejas, Jaziz, el agareno. Todos estos eran los administradores de los bienes del rey David.
32 Jonatán, el tío de David, hombre sabio e instruido, era consejero, y Jehiel, hijo de Hacmoní, era quien acompañaba a los hijos del rey. 33 También Ahitófel era consejero del rey, y Husai, el arquita, era el hombre de confianza del rey. 34 A Ahitófel le sucedieron en su cargo Joiadá, hijo de Benaías, y Abiatar. El jefe del ejército real era Joab.

27 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.

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.

17 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:

22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.
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.
