1 Dit nu zijn de kinderen Israels naar hun getal, de hoofden der vaderen, en de oversten der duizenden en der honderden, met hun ambtlieden, den koning dienende in alle zaken der verdelingen, aangaande en afgaande van maand tot maand in al de maanden des jaars; elke verdeling was vier en twintig duizend.

2 Over de eerste verdeling in de eerste maand was Jasobam, de zoon van Zabdiel; en in zijn verdeling waren er vier en twintig duizend.

3 Hij was uit de kinderen van Perez, het hoofd van al de oversten der heiren in de eerste maand.

4 En over de verdeling in de tweede maand was Dodai, de Ahohiet, en over zijn verdeling was Mikloth ook voorganger; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

5 De derde overste des heirs in de derde maand was Benaja, de zoon van Jojada, den opperambtman; die was het hoofd; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

6 Deze Benaja was een held van de dertig, en over de dertig; en over zijn verdeling was Ammizabad, zijn zoon.

7 De vierde, in de vierde maand, was Asahel, de broeder van Joab, en na hem Zebadja, zijn zoon; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

8 De vijfde, in de vijfde maand, was Samhuth, de Jizrahiet, de overste; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

15 De twaalfde, in de twaalfde maand, was Heldai, de Nethofathiet, van Othniel; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

16 Doch over de stammen van Israel waren dezen: over de Rubenieten was Eliezer, de zoon van Zichri, voorganger; over de Simeonieten was Sefatja, de zoon van Maacha;

17 Over de Levieten was Hasabja, de zoon van Kemuel; over de Aaronieten was Zadok;

18 Over Juda was Elihu, uit de broederen van David; over Issaschar was Omri, de zoon van Michael;

19 Over Zebulon was Jismaja, de zoon van Obadja; over Nafthali was Jerimoth, de zoon van Azriel;

20 Over de kinderen van Efraim was Hosea, de zoon van Azarja; over den halven stam van Manasse was Joel, de zoon van Pedaja;

21 Over half Manasse, in Gilead, was Jiddo, de zoon van Zecharja; over Benjamin was Jaasiel, de zoon van Abner;

22 Over Dan was Azarel, de zoon van Jeroham. Dezen waren de oversten der stammen van Israel.

23 Maar David nam het getal van die niet op, die twintig jaren oud en daar beneden waren; omdat de HEERE gezegd had, dat Hij Israel vermenigvuldigen zou als de sterren des hemels.

24 Joab, de zoon van Zeruja, had begonnen te tellen, maar hij voleindde het niet, omdat er deshalve een grote toorn over Israel gekomen was; daarom is het getal niet opgebracht in de rekening der kronieken van den koning David.

25 En over de schatten des konings was Azmaveth, de zoon van Adiel; en over de schatten op het land, in de steden, en in de dorpen, en in de torens, was Jonathan, de zoon van Uzzia.

26 En over die, die het akkerwerk deden, in de landbouwing, was Esri, de zoon van Chelub.

27 En over de wijngaarden was Simei, de Ramathiet; maar over hetgeen dat van de wijnstokken kwam tot de schatten des wijns, was Zabdi, de Sifmiet.

28 En over de olijfgaarden en de wilde vijgebomen, die in de laagte waren, was Baal-Hanan, de Gederiet; maar Joas was over de schatten der olie.

29 En over de runderen, die in Saron weidden, was Sitrai, de Saroniet; maar over de runderen in de laagten, was Safat, de zoon van Adlai.

30 En over de kemelen was Obil, de Ismaeliet; en over de ezelinnen was Jechdeja, de Meronothiet.

31 En over het kleine vee was Jaziz, de Hageriet. Alle dezen waren oversten over de have, die de koning David had.

32 En Jonathan, Davids oom, was raad, een verstandig man; hij was ook schrijver; Jehiel nu, de zoon van Hachmoni, was bij de zonen des konings.

33 En Achitofel was raad des konings; en Husai, de Archiet, was des konings vriend.

34 En na Achitofel was Jojada, de zoon van Benaja, en Abjathar; maar Joab was des konings krijgsoverste.

1 Now the children of Israel after their number, the heads of fathers’ households and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers who served the king in any matter of the divisions which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year—of every division were twenty-four thousand.

2 Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 3 He was of the children of Perez, the chief of all the captains of the army for the first month. 4 Over the division of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite and his division, and Mikloth the ruler; and in his division were twenty-four thousand. 5 The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the chief priest. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 6 This is that Benaiah who was the mighty man of the thirty and over the thirty. Of his division was Ammizabad his son. 7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 8 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 9 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 10 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 11 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zerahites. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 12 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 13 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zerahites. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 14 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim. In his division were twenty-four thousand. 15 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel. In his division were twenty-four thousand.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: of the Reubenites, Eliezer the son of Zichri was the ruler; of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah; 17 of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; of Aaron, Zadok; 18 of Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David; of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael; 19 of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel; 20 of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah; 21 of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner; 22 of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains of the tribes of Israel. 23 But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to take a census, but didn’t finish; and wrath came on Israel for this. The number wasn’t put into the account in the chronicles of king David.

25 Over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel. Over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, in the villages, and in the towers was Jonathan the son of Uzziah; 26 Over those who did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub. 27 Over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite. Over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite. 28 Over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the lowland was Baal Hanan the Gederite. Over the cellars of oil was Joash. 29 Over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite. Over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai. 30 Over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite. Over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite. Over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. 31 All these were the rulers of the property which was king David’s.

32 Also Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe. Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons. 33 Ahithophel was the king’s counselor. Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend. 34 After Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. Joab was the captain of the king’s army.
