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 who 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-four thousand. 2 Over the first
course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his
course were twenty-four thousand. 3 He was of the children of
Perez, the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
4 Over the course of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite, and his
course; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his course were twenty-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-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-four thousand.
8 The fifth captain for this fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in
his course were twenty-four thousand. 9 The sixth captain for the
sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were
twenty-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-four thousand. 11 The eighth captain for the eighth month
was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zerahites: and in his course were
twenty-four thousand. 12 The ninth captain for the ninth month was
Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were
twenty-four thousand. 13 The tenth captain for the tenth month was
Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zerahites: and in his course were
Twenty-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-four thousand. 15 The twelfth captain for the
twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were
twenty-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 brothers 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 didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and
under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the
sky. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but didn’t finish; and
there came wrath for this on Israel; neither was the number put into the
account in the chronicles of king David. 25 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 Over those who 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 sycamore
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 donkeys 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 counselor, a man of
understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the
king’s sons: 33 Ahithophel was the king’s counselor: 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.
