Leaders of the Tribes
16 The following were the tribes of Israel and their leaders:
Tribe | Leader |
---|---|
Reuben | Eliezer son of Zicri |
Simeon | Shephatiah son of Maacah |
17 Levi | Hashabiah son of Kemuel |
Aaron (the priests) | Zadok |
18 Judah | Elihu (a brother of David) |
Issachar | Omri son of Michael |
19 Zebulun | Ishmaiah son of Obadiah |
Naphtali | Jeremoth son of Azriel |
20 Ephraim | Hoshea son of Azaziah |
Manasseh (west) | Joel son of Pedaiah |
21 Manasseh in Gilead (east) | Iddo son of Zechariah |
Benjamin | Jaasiel son of Abner |
22 Dan | Azarel son of Jeroham |
These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 When David took his census, he did not count those who were younger than twenty years of age, because the Lord had promised to make the Israelites as numerous as the stars in heaven. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began the census but never finished it because[a] the anger of God fell on Israel. The total number was never recorded in King David’s official records.

Tribal leaders
16 In charge of the tribes of Israel:
for the Reubenites—the leader was Eliezer, Zichri’s son;
for the Simeonites—Shephatiah, Maacah’s son;
17 for the Levites—Hashabiah, Kemuel’s son;
for Aaron—Zadok;
18 for Judah—Eliab,[a] one of David’s relatives;
for Issachar—Omri, Michael’s son;
19 for Zebulun—Ishmaiah, Obadiah’s son;
for Naphtali—Jerimoth, Azriel’s son;
20 for the Ephraimites—Hoshea, Azaziah’s son;
for half the tribe of Manasseh—Joel, Pedaiah’s son;
21 for half the tribe[b] of Manasseh in Gilead—Iddo, Zechariah’s son;
for Benjamin—Jaasiel, Abner’s son;
22 for Dan—Azarel, Jeroham’s son.
These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23 But David didn’t count those younger than 20 years of age, because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab, Zeruiah’s son, began to count them, but he never finished. Since Israel experienced wrath because of this, the number wasn’t entered into the official records of King David.
