1 Chronicles 26:29-32

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ From the family line of Izhar came

Kenaniah and his sons. They were given duties that were away from the temple. They were officials and judges over Israel.

³⁰ From the family line of Hebron came

Hashabiah and his relatives. They were capable men. The total number was 1,700. It was their duty to serve the king in Israel west of the Jordan River. It was also their duty to do all the Lord’s work there. ³¹ Jeriah was the chief of the family line of Hebron. That’s based on their family history.

In the 40th year of David’s rule, a search was made in the records. That’s how capable men were found in the family line of Hebron at Jazer in Gilead. ³² Jeriah had 2,700 relatives. They were capable men and family leaders. King David had put them in charge of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. They were in charge of matters having to do with God and the king.
