Chapter 27

1Now these are the people of Israel, according to their number, the heads of fathers’ houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division consisting of 24,000. 2Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel; in his division were 24,000. 3He was of the sons of Perez, chief of all the commanders of the army for the first month. 4Over the division of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite; and Mikloth was the chief officer of his division. In his division were 24,000. 5The third commander, for the third month, was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the chief priest; in his division were 24,000. 6This is the Benaiah who was a mighty man of the Thirty and was over the Thirty; and Ammizabad his son was in his division. 7The fourth commander, for the fourth month, was Asahel the brother of Joab, and after him Zebadiah his son; in his division were 24,000. 8The fifth commander, for the fifth month, was Shamhuth, the Izrahite; in his division were 24,000. 9The sixth commander, for the sixth month, was Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; in his division were 24,000. 10The seventh commander, for the seventh month, was Helez the Pelonite, of the sons of Ephraim; in his division were 24,000. 11The eighth commander, for the eighth month, was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites; in his division were 24,000. 12The ninth commander, for the ninth month, was Abiezer of Anathoth, a Benjaminite; in his division were 24,000. 13The tenth commander, for the tenth month, was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites; in his division were 24,000. 14The eleventh commander, for the eleventh month, was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim; in his division were 24,000. 15The twelfth commander, for the twelfth month, was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel; in his division were 24,000. 16Furthermore, over the tribes of Israel: for the Reubenites, Eliezer the son of Zichri was chief officer; for the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah; 17for the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok; 18for Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers; for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael; 19for Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; for Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel; 20for the sons of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; for the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah; 21for the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; for Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner; 22for Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23David did not count those below twenty years of age, for the Lord had promised to make Israel as many as the stars of heaven. 24Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but did not finish. Yet wrath came upon Israel for this, and the number was not entered in the chronicles of King David. 25Over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel. Over the treasuries in the country, in the cities, in the villages and in the towers, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah. 26Over those who did the work of the field for tilling the soil was Ezri the son of Chelub. 27Over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite. Over the produce of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite. 28Over the olive and sycamore trees in the Shephelah was Baal-hanan the Gederite. Over the stores of oil was Joash. 29Over the herds that pastured in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite. Over the herds in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai. 30Over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite. Over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite. 31Over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagarite. All these were the officials in charge of King David’s property. 32Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, being a man of understanding 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 came Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. Joab was commander of the king’s army.
