1 Chronicles 27:16-24
Modern English Version
Leaders of the Tribes
16 Over the tribes of Israel:
The chief officer over the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zikri;
over the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maakah;
17 over the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel;
over the Aaronites, Zadok;
18 over Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David;
over Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;
19 over Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah;
over Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel;
20 over the sons of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah;
over the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;
21 over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah;
over Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;
22 over Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham.
These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 But David did not take the number from twenty years old and under because the Lord had said He would multiply Israel as the stars of the heavens. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he did not finish. And because of this wrath came on Israel, and the number was not recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David.
