Context of 1 Chronicles 27:22
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. For 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.

Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all. Thy testimonies are my delight…Read the comment
