1 Chronicles 27:23-31

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.

25Adiel's son Azmaveth had authority over the places in the palace where the king stored his valuable things. Uzziah's son Jonathan had authority over the places in the different regions of Israel where the king stored his things. Those places were in towns, in villages and in strong towers.

26Kelub's son Ezri had authority over the men who worked in the king's fields.

27Shimei from Ramah had authority over the men who worked in the king's vineyards. Zabdi from Shepham had authority over the men who stored wine in the vineyards.

28Baal-Hanan from Geder had authority over the trees in the low hills in the west. They were olive trees and fig trees. Joash had authority over the places where they stored the olive oil.

29Shitrai from Sharon had authority to take care of the king's cows that were in Sharon. Adlai's son Shaphat had authority to take care of the king's cows that were in the valleys.

30Obil, a descendant of Ishmael, had authority for the king's camels. Jehdeiah from Meronoth had authority for the donkeys.

31Jaziz, a descendant of Hagar, had authority to take care of the king's sheep and goats. These were the officers who had authority to take care of King David's things.
