1This is the list of the Israelites—heads of families, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and their officers, who served the king in all that concerned the army divisions that were on duty month by month throughout the year. Each division consisted of 24,000 men.

Leaders of the Tribes

16The leaders of the tribes of Israel:

over the Reubenites: Eliezer son of Zikri;

over the Simeonites: Shephatiah son of Maakah;

17over Levi: Hashabiah son of Kemuel;

over Aaron: Zadok;

18over Judah: Elihu, a brother of David;

over Issachar: Omri son of Michael;

19over Zebulun: Ishmaiah son of Obadiah;

over Benjamin: Jaasiel son of Abner;

22over Dan: Azarel son of Jeroham.

These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.

23David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. God’s wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering, and the number was not entered in the book27:24 Septuagint; Hebrew number of the annals of King David.
