Hærens øverste officerer

1Den israelitiske hær var inddelt i 12 divisioner med 24.000 soldater i hver. Hver division havde en øverstkommanderende, en næstkommanderende og en række officerer af forskellig rang. Hver division blev indkaldt til aktiv tjeneste en måned om året.

2-3Det følgende er en liste over cheferne for de 12 divisioner, samt deres tjenestemåned: I årets første måned: Jashobeam, Zabdiels søn, der tilhørte Peretz’ slægt. 4Anden måned: Dodaj, en efterkommer af Ahoa. Hans næstkommanderende var Miklot. 5-6Tredje måned: Benaja, ypperstepræsten Jojadas søn, der var den mest ansete blandt „De Tredive”. Hans søn Ammizabad var næstkommanderende. 7Fjerde måned: Asael, Joabs bror. Hans søn Zebadja overtog ledelsen efter sin fars død. 8Femte måned: Shamhut fra Jizrachs27,8 Som så mange andre steder er der flere varianter af det samme navn. Jizrach er det samme som Zerach af Judas slægt, og Shamhut er det samme som Shamma og Shammot. På dansk ser navnene mere forskellige ud, end de er på hebraisk. Se også kap. 11. slægt. 9Sjette måned: Ira, Ikkesh’ søn fra Tekoa. 10Syvende måned: Heletz fra Pelon, af Efraims slægt. 11Ottende måned: Sibbekaj fra Husha, af Zerachs slægt. 12Niende måned: Abiezer fra Anatot i Benjamins stammeområde. 13Tiende måned: Maharaj fra Netofa, også af Zerachs slægt. 14Ellevte måned: Benaja fra Piraton, af Efraims stamme. 15Tolvte måned: Heldaj fra Netofa, af Otniels slægt.

Stammelederne

16-22De øverste ledere i de forskellige stammer i Israel var følgende: For Rubens stamme: Eliezer, søn af Zikri; for Simeons stamme: Shefatja, søn af Ma’aka; for Levis stamme: Hashabja, søn af Kemuel; for Arons slægt: Zadok; for Judas stamme: Elihu, en bror til kong David; for Issakars stamme: Omri, søn af Mikael; for Zebulons stamme: Jishmaja, søn af Obadja; for Naftalis stamme: Jerimot, søn af Azriel; for Efraims stamme: Hosea, søn af Azazja; for Manasses halve stamme mod vest: Joel, søn af Pedaja; for Manasses halve stamme i Gilead: Jiddo, søn af Zekarja; for Benjamins stamme: Ja’asiel, søn af Abner; for Dans stamme: Azarel, søn af Jeroham.

Den famøse mønstring af hæren

23Da David i sin tid mønstrede hæren, medregnede han ikke mændene fra 20 år og nedefter. Herren havde jo lovet at gøre sit folk talrigt som himlens stjerner. 24Joab begyndte mønstringen, men fuldførte den ikke, fordi Herrens vrede kom over Israel på grund af mønstringen. Resultatet blev derfor aldrig indført i beretningen om kong Davids bedrifter.

Administratorerne af kongens ejendom

25-31Det følgende er en liste over de mænd, der administrerede kongens ejendom:

Azmavet, søn af Adiel, havde ansvaret for de kongelige skatkamre; Jonatan, søn af Uzzija, administrerede forrådskamrene på landet, i alle byer, landsbyer og fæstninger; Ezri, søn af Kelub, havde opsyn med hoveriarbejderne, som dyrkede de kongelige marker; Shimi fra Rama havde opsyn med vingårdene, mens Zabdi fra Shefam havde ansvar for vinlagrene i vingårdene. Ba’al-Hanan fra Geder havde opsyn med oliven- og morbærfigenlundene på de vestlige bakkeskråninger, mens Joash havde ansvar for olivenolielagrene; Shitraj fra Saron havde ansvaret for kvæget, der græssede på Saronsletten; Shafat, søn af Adlaj, havde ansvaret for kvæget, der græssede i dalene; ishmaelitten Obil havde opsyn med kamelerne, Jehdeja fra Meronot med æslerne, og hagritten Jaziz med fårene og gederne.

Kongens nærmeste rådgivere

32En farbror til kong David ved navn Jonatan var en vis og skriftlærd rådgiver. Jehiel, søn af Hakmoni, var ansvarlig for kongesønnernes opdragelse.

33Kongens officielle rådgiver hed Ahitofel, og hans personlige vejleder var arkitten Hushaj. 34Efter Ahitofel blev Jojada, søn af Benaja, og Ebjatar kongelige rådgivere. Joab var øverstbefalende for den israelitiske hær.

25¶ And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah: 26And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: 27And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:27.27 over the increase…: Heb. over that which was of the vineyards 28And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: 29And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: 30Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: 31And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite.
