27 This is a list of the Israelite men who served the king in the army. Some were leaders of families, some were commanders of 1,000 men, some were commanders of 100 men, and some were other officers. There were 24,000 men in each group. Each group served one month of each year.
2 Jashobeam, son of Zabdiel, was in charge of the group that served during the first month of each year. 3 He was a descendant of Perez, and he was the commander of all the army officers during the first month of each year.
4 Dodai, from the clan of Ahohi, was the commander of the group that served during the second month of each year. Mikloth was an important leader in that group also.
5 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada the high priest, was the commander of the group that served during the third month of each year. 6 Benaiah was a mighty warrior among David’s 30 greatest soldiers, and he was their leader. His son Ammizabad was his assistant.

16 There were certain tribal leaders over each of the tribes of Israel:
Eliezer, son of Zicri, was the leader of the tribe of Reuben.
Shephatiah, son of Maacah, was the leader of the tribe of Simeon.
17 Hashabiah, son of Kemuel, was the leader of the tribe of Levi.
Within the tribe of Levi, Zadok was the leader of Aaron’s descendants.
18 Elihu, David’s older brother, was the leader of the tribe of Judah.
Omri, son of Michael, was the leader of the tribe of Issachar.
19 Ishmaiah, son of Obadiah, was the leader of the tribe of Zebulun.
Jerimoth, son of Azriel, was the leader of the tribe of Naphtali.
20 Hoshea, son of Azaziah, was the leader of the tribe of Ephraim.
Joel, son of Pedaiah, was the leader of the western half of the tribe of Manasseh.
21 Iddo, son of Zechariah, was the leader of the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, in the region of Gilead.
Jaasiel, son of Abner, was the leader of the tribe of Benjamin.
22 Azarel, son of Jeroham, was the leader of the tribe of Dan. These men were the tribal leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel.
23 David did not tell Joab to count the men who were less than twenty years old, because Yahweh had promised many years previously that there would be as many people in Israel as there are stars in the sky. 24 Joab and his helpers started to count the men of Israel, but they did not finish counting them because Joab knew that Yahweh was angry about the census. Yahweh punished the people of Israel because of this counting, and as a result the officials did not write the total number of Israelite men able to serve in the army on the scroll about King David’s rule.
25 Azmaveth, son of Adiel, was in charge of the king’s storehouses.
28 Baal-Hanan from the city of Geder was in charge of the groves of olive and sycamore trees in the western foothills. Joash was in charge of storing the olive oil.
30 Obil, a descendant of Ishmael, was in charge of the camels.
All of those officials were in charge of the things that belonged to King David.
32 David’s uncle Jonathan was a wise counselor for him and an official secretary.
34 Benaiah’s son Jehoiada became the king’s advisor after Ahithophel died, and later Abiathar became his advisor.
