1 Chronicles 27:1-9

1This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers' houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000:

2Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel was in charge of the first division in the first month; in his division were 24,000.

3He was a descendant of Perez and was chief of all the commanders. He served for the first month.

4Dodai the Ahohite was in charge of the division of the second month; in his division were 24,000.

5The third commander, for the third month, was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the chief priest; in his division were 24,000.

6This is the Benaiah who was a mighty man of the thirty and in command of the thirty; Ammizabad his son was in charge of his division.

7Asahel the brother of Joab was fourth, for the fourth month, and his son Zebadiah after him; in his division were 24,000.
