Primer mes: Jasobeam hijo de Zabdiel, descendiente de Fares.
Segundo mes: Dodai el ahohíta, y su ayudante Miclot.

Cuarto mes: Asael hermano de Joab; luego ocupó su lugar su hijo Zebadías.
Quinto mes: Samhut el izraíta.
Sexto mes: Irá hijo de Iqués, el tecoíta.
Séptimo mes: Heles el pelonita, descendiente de Efraín.
Octavo mes: Sibecai el de Husá, descendiente de los zarjítas.

Organización de las tribus de Israel
16-22 Ésta es la lista de los jefes de las tribus de Israel:
Eliézer hijo de Zicrí, de la tribu de Rubén.
Sefatías hijo de Maacá, de la tribu de Simeón.
Hasabías hijo de Quemuel, de la tribu de Leví.
Elihú, hermano de David, de la tribu de Judá.
Omrí hijo de Micael, de la tribu de Isacar.
Ismaías hijo de Abdías, de la tribu de Zabulón.
Jerimot hijo de Azriel, de la tribu de Neftalí.
Oseas hijo de Azazías, de la tribu de Efraín.
Joel hijo de Pedaías, de la media tribu de Manasés.
Idó hijo de Zacarías, de la otra media tribu de Manasés, en Galaad.
Jaasiel hijo de Abner, de la tribu de Benjamín.
Azarel hijo de Jeroham, de la tribu de Dan.
Además, Sadoc fue el jefe de los descendientes de Aarón.
23 Como Dios había prometido que los israelitas se multiplicarían tanto que nadie los podría contar, David no hizo una lista de los que eran menores de veinte años. 24 Y aunque Joab había comenzado a contarlos, no pudo terminar, porque Dios envió una enfermedad sobre los israelitas como castigo. Por esta razón, en el libro que narra los hechos más importantes del reinado de David nunca se anotó cuántos eran.

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]

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.
