| 1 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the
heads of fathers' houses and the captains of thousands and of
hundreds, and their officers that served the king, in any matter of the
courses which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months
of the year-of every course were twenty and four thousand. 2 Over the
first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his
course were twenty and four thousand. 3 He was of the children of
Perez, the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
4 And over the course of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite, and his
course; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. 5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah,
the son of Jehoiada the priest, chief: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. 6 This is that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the thirty,
and over the thirty: and of his course was Ammizabad his son.
7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother
of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and
four thousand. 8 The fifth captain for this fifth month was Shamhuth the
Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 9 The sixth
captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite:
and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 10 The seventh
captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children
of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 11 The eighth
captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the
Zerahites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 12 The ninth
captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the
Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 13 The tenth
captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the
Zerahites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 14 The
eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite,
of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
15 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the
Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: of the Reubenites was Eliezer
the son of Zichri the ruler: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah:
17 of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of Aaron, Zadok: 18 of Judah,
Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:
19 of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son
of Azriel: 20 of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of
the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: 21 of the half
-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin,
Jaasiel the son of Abner: 22 of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were
the captains of the tribes of Israel. 23 But David took not the number of
them from twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said he would
increase Israel like to the stars of heaven. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah
began to number, but finished not; and there came wrath for this upon Israel;
neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king
David.
25 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over
the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the
castles, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah: 26 And over them that did the
work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:
27 and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the increase
of the vineyards for the wine-cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: 28 and over
the olive-trees and the sycomore-trees that were in the lowland was
Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: 29 and
over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the
herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: 30 and over
the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the
Meronothite: and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. 31 All these were
the rulers of the substance which was king David's.
32 Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counsellor, a man of understanding,
and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:
33 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was
the king's friend: 34 and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of
Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king's host was Joab.
