Revised Standard Version
Leaders of Tribes
16 Over the tribes of Israel, for the Reubenites Elie′zer the son of Zichri was chief officer; for the Simeonites, Shephati′ah the son of Ma′acah; 17 for Levi, Hashabi′ah the son of Kemu′el; for Aaron, Zadok; 18 for Judah, Eli′hu, one of David’s brothers; for Is′sachar, Omri the son of Michael; 19 for Zeb′ulun, Ishma′iah the son of Obadi′ah; for Naph′tali, Jer′emoth the son of Az′ri-el; 20 for the E′phraimites, Hoshe′a the son of Azazi′ah; for the half-tribe of Manas′seh, Jo′el the son of Peda′iah; 21 for the half-tribe of Manas′seh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechari′ah; for Benjamin, Ja-asi′el the son of Abner; 22 for Dan, Az′arel the son of Jero′ham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23 David did not number those below twenty years of age, for the Lord had promised to make Israel as many as the stars of heaven. 24 Jo′ab the son of Zeru′iah began to number, but did not finish; yet wrath came upon Israel for this, and the number was not entered in the chronicles of King David.
