1 Chronicles 27:16-24

16The following were in charge of the tribes of Israel: For the Reubenites, Eliezer son of Zichri was the chief official; for the Simeonites, Shephatiah son of Maacah;

17for the Levites, Hashabiah son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok;

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

19for Zebulun, Ishmaiah son of Obadiah; for Naphtali, Jerimoth son of Azriel;

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

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

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

23David didn’t count the men aged twenty or under, for the Lord had said he would make Israel as numerous as the stars of the sky.

24Joab son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he didn’t complete it. There was wrath against Israel because of this census, and the number was not entered in the Historical Record of King David.
