22. of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains of the tribes of Israel.

23. But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the Lord had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

25. Over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah;

26. Over those who did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub;

27. and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite; and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite;

28. and over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the lowland was Baal Hanan the Gederite; and over the cellars of oil was Joash;

29. and 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;

30. and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite; and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite; and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite.
