27 This is the list of the Israelites, the heads of fathers’ houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters of the divisions that came and went, month by month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000.

5 The third commander of the army for the third month was Benaiah son of Jehoiada the priest, as chief. In his division were 24,000.

6 This is the Benaiah who was a mighty man of the Thirty and over the Thirty; and in his division was Ammizabad his son.

22 Of Dan: Azarel son of Jeroham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David did not number those under twenty years of age, for the Lord had promised to make Israel as the stars of the heavens.

24 Joab son of Zeruiah began a census but did not finish, because the census brought wrath upon Israel, and the number was not recorded in the chronicles of King David.

25 Over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth son of Adiel; and over the treasuries in the country, cities, villages, and towers or forts was Jonathan son of Uzziah;

30 Over the camels, Obil the Ishmaelite; over the she-donkeys, Jehdeiah the Meronothite;

31 And over the flocks, Jaziz the Hagrite. All these were stewards of King David’s property.

32 Also Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a wise man and a scribe; he and Jehiel son of Hachmoni attended the king’s sons [as tutors].(A)

33 Ahithophel was the king’s counselor; Hushai the Archite was the king’s companion and friend.

34 Ahithophel was succeeded by Jehoiada son of Benaiah and by Abiathar. Joab was the commander of the king’s army.
