1 Chronicles 27
1 Now the sons of Israel according to
their number, heads of families, captains of thousands and captains of
hundreds, and scribes ministering to the king, and for every affair of the
king according to their divisions,
for every ordinance of coming in and going out
monthly, for all the months of the year, one division of them
was twenty-four thousand.
2 And over the first division of the
first month was Isboaz the son of Zabdiel: in his
division were twenty-four thousand.
3 Of the sons of Tharez
one was chief of all the captains of the host for the
first month. 4 And over the division
of the second month was Dodia the son of Ecchoc, and
over his division was Makelloth also chief: and in
his division were twenty and four thousand, chief men
of the host. 5 The third for the third
month was Banaias the son of Jodae the chief priest:
and in his division were twenty and four thousand.
6 This Banæas
was more mighty than the thirty, and over the thirty:
and Zabad his son was over his division.
7 The fourth for the fourth month
was Asael the brother of Joab, and Zabadias his son,

16 And over the tribes of Israel, the
chief for Ruben was Eliezer the son of Zechri: for
Symeon, Saphatias the son of Maacha:
17 for Levi, Asabias the son of
Camuel: for Aaron, Sadoc: 18 for

21 for the half-tribe of Manasse in
the land of Galaad, Jadai the son of Zadæas, for the sons of Benjamin, Jasiel
the son of Abenner: 22 for Dan,
Azariel the son of Iroab: these are the chiefs of the
tribes of Israel.
23 But David took not their number
from twenty years old and under: because the Lord said that he would multiply
Israel as the stars of the heaven.
24 And Joab the son of Saruia began
to number the people, and did not finish the work, for there was hereupon
wrath on Israel; and the number was not recorded in the book of the chronicles
of king David.
25 And over the king's treasures
was Asmoth the son of Odiel; and over the treasures
in the country, and in the towns, and in the villages, and in the towers,
was Jonathan the son of Ozia.
26 And over the husbandmen who tilled
the ground was Esdri the son of Chelub.
27 And over the fields
was Semei of Rael; and over the treasures of wine in
the fields was Zabdi the son of Sephni.
28 And over the oliveyards, and over
the sycamores in the plain country was Ballanan the
Gedorite; and over the stores of oil was Joas.
29 And over the oxen pasturing in
Saron was Satrai the Saronite; and over the oxen in
the valleys was Sophat the son of Adli.
30 And over the camels
was Abias the Ismaelite; and over the asses
was Jadias of Merathon.
31 And over the sheep
was Jaziz the Agarite. All these
were superintendents of the substance of king David.
32 And Jonathan, David's uncle by the
father's side, was a counsellor, a wise man: and Jeel
the son of Achami was with the king's sons.
33 Achitophel
was the king's counsellor: and Chusi the chief friend
of the king. 34 And after this
Achitophel Jodae the son of Banæas came next, and
Abiathar: and Joab was the king's commander-in-chief.
