1And the sons of Israel, according to their number, the heads of fathers, the commanders of thousands and hundreds and their officers, served the king in every matter in their divisions. These divisions came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year; each division having twenty-four thousand. 2Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel, and in his division were twenty-four thousand; 3he was of the sons of Perez, and chief of all the commanders of the army for the first month. 4Over the division of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his division Mikloth also was the ruler; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 5The third commander of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the chief priest; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 6This was the Benaiah who was mighty among the thirty, and was over the thirty; in his division was Ammizabad his son. 7The fourth for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 8The fifth commander for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 9The sixth for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 10The seventh for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the sons of Ephraim; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 11The eighth for the eighth month was Sibbechai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 12The ninth for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 13The tenth for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 14The eleventh for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 15The twelfth for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel; in his division were twenty-four thousand. 16Furthermore, over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites, Eliezer the son of Zichri; of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah; 17of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; of the Aaronites, Zadok; 18of Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers; of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael; 19of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel; 20of the sons of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah; 21of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner; 22of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the rulers over the tribes of Israel. 23But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens. 24Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but he did not finish, for wrath came upon Israel because of this; nor was the number recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David. 25Azmaveth the son of Adiel was over the king’s treasuries; and Jehonathan the son of Uzziah was over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, in the villages, and in the towers. 26Ezri the son of Chelub was over those who did the work of the field for working the land. 27And Shimei the Ramathite was over the vineyards, and Zabdi the Shiphmite was over the produce of the vineyards for the supply of wine. 28Baal-Hanan the Gederite was over the olive trees and the sycamore trees in the lowlands, and Joash was over the supply of oil. 29And Shitrai the Sharonite was over the herds that fed in Sharon, and Shaphat the son of Adlai was over the herds in the valleys. 30Obil the Ishmaelite was over the camels, Jehdeiah the Meronothite was over the donkeys, 31and Jaziz the Hagrite was over the flocks. All these were the officials over King David’s property. 32Also Jehonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons. 33Ahithophel was the king’s counselor, and Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend. 34After Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, then Abiathar. And the commander of the king’s army was Joab.
