16Now in charge of the tribes of Israel [were the following]: chief officer of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri; of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah;

17of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; of Aaron, Zadok;

18of Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers; of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;

19of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel;

20of the Ephraimites, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;

21of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;

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

23But David did not count those twenty years of age and under, for the Lord had said he would multiply Israel as the stars of heaven.

24Joab the son of Zeruiah began a census but did not finish; and because of this, [God’s] wrath came on Israel, and the number was not recorded in the chronicles of King David.
