1 Chronicles 27:16-24

16This is a list of the officers who had authority over Israel's tribes: For Reuben: Zikri's son, Eliezer. For Simeon: Maakah's son, Shephatiah.

17For Levi: Kemuel's son, Hashabiah. Zadok had authority over the descendants of Aaron.

18For Judah: Elihu, a brother of David. For Issachar: Michael's son, Omri.

19For Zebulun: Obadiah's son, Ishmaiah. For Naphtali: Azriel's son, Jerimoth.

20For Ephraim Hoshea's son, Azaziah. For the half tribe of Manasseh in the west: Pedaiah's son, Joel.

21For the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead: Zechariah's son, Iddo. For Benjamin: Abner's son, Jaasiel.

22For Dan: Jeroham's son, Azarel. Those were the officers who led the tribes of Israel.

23The Lord had promised to make Israel a nation with as many people as there are stars in the sky. So King David did not count the men who were less than 20 years old.

24Zeruiah's son Joab had begun to count the men. He did not finish counting them because the Lord started to punish Israel. So nobody wrote the number in the history book about King David's life.
