1 Estes são os filhos de Israel segundo o seu número, e os chefes dos pais, e os capitães dos milhares e das centenas, com os seus oficiais, que serviam ao rei em todos os negócios das turmas, entrando e saindo de mês em mês, em todos os meses do ano, cada turma de vinte e quatro mil. 2 Sobre a primeira turma do mês primeiro estava Jasobeão, filho de Zabdiel; e em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 3 Era este dos filhos de Perez, chefe de todos os capitães dos exércitos, para o primeiro mês. 4 E sobre a turma do segundo mês era Dodai, o aoíta, com a sua turma, cujo chefe era Miclote; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 5 O terceiro capitão do exército do terceiro mês era Benaia, filho de Joiada, oficial-mor e chefe; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 6 Era este Benaia um varão entre os trinta, e sobre os trinta; e sobre a sua turma estava Amizabade, seu filho. 7 O quarto, para o quarto mês, Asael, irmão de Joabe, e, depois dele, Zebadias, seu filho; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 8 O quinto, para o quinto mês, o maioral Samute, o izraíta; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 9 O sexto, para o sexto mês, Ira, filho de Iques, o tecoíta; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 10 O sétimo, para o sétimo mês, Heles, o pelonita, dos filhos de Efraim; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 11 O oitavo, para o oitavo mês, Sibecai, o husatita, dos zeraítas; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 12 O nono, para o nono mês, Abiezer, o anatotita, dos benjamitas; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 13 O décimo, para o décimo mês, Maarai, o netofatita, dos zeraítas; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 14 O undécimo, para o undécimo mês, Benaia, o piratonita, dos filhos de Efraim; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil. 15 O duodécimo, para o duodécimo mês, Heldai, o netofatita, de Otniel; também em sua turma havia vinte e quatro mil.

25 E sobre os tesouros do rei estava Azmavete, filho de Adiel; e sobre os tesouros da terra, e das cidades, e das aldeias, e das torres, Jônatas, filho de Uzias; 26 e sobre os que faziam a obra do campo, na lavoura da terra, Ezri, filho de Quelube; 27 e sobre as vinhas, Simei, o ramatita; porém sobre o que das vides entrava nos tesouros do vinho, Zabdi o sifmita; 28 e sobre os olivais e figueiras bravas que havia nas campinas, Baal-Hanã, o gederita; porém Joás, sobre os tesouros do azeite; 29 e sobre os gados que pasciam em Sarom, Sitrai, o saronita; porém sobre os gados dos vales, Safate, filho de Adlai; 30 e sobre os camelos, Obil, o ismaelita; e sobre as jumentas, Jedias, o meronotita; 31 e sobre o gado miúdo, Jaziz, o hagarita; todos estes eram maiorais da fazenda que tinha o rei Davi.

32 Jônatas, tio de Davi, era do conselho, homem sábio e também escriba; e Jeiel, filho de Hacmoni, estava com os filhos do rei; 33 e Aitofel era do conselho do rei; e Husai, o arquita, amigo do rei; 34 e, depois de Aitofel, Joiada, filho de Benaia, e Abiatar; porém Joabe era chefe do exército do rei.

1 And these are the children of Israel after their number; to wit, the chiefs of the family divisions and the captains of the thousands and the hundreds, and their officers that served the king in every matter of the divisions, that came in and went out month by month, throughout all the months of the year, every division being twenty and four thousand.

22 Of Dan, ‘Azarel the son of Jerocham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David took not their number from twenty years old and under; because the Lord had said he would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.

24 Joab the son of Zeruyah began to number them; but he finished not, and there came wrath because of it against Israel: and the number was not entered in the account of the chronicles of king David.

25 And over the king’s treasures was ‘Azmaveth the son of ‘Adiel; and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of ‘Uzziyahu.

26 And over those that did the work of the field, in the tillage of the ground, was ‘Ezri the son of Kelub.
