29 From Yitshar’s descendants, Kenanyah and his sons worked outside the temple area as officials and judges over Yisrael.

30 From Hevron’s descendants, Hashavyah and his relatives were responsible for all the work done for Yahweh and for the king in the area west of the Yordan river. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well. 31 According to the records of Hevron’s descendants, Yeriyyah was their leader. (In the fortieth year of David’s reign, they had searched in those records and discovered that there were powerful men in Yazer in Gilead.) 32 Yeriyyah had 2,700 relatives who were strong workers and leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuven, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Menashsheh, to ensure that all the people did what God commanded and what the king told them to do.
