Army Divisions

1 This is the list of the Israelites—heads of families, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and their officers, who served the king in all that concerned the army divisions that were on duty month by month throughout the year. Each division consisted of 24,000 men.

Leaders of the Tribes

16 The leaders of the tribes of Israel:

over the Reubenites: Eliezer son of Zikri;

over the Simeonites: Shephatiah son of Maakah;

17 over Levi: Hashabiah son of Kemuel;

over Aaron: Zadok;

18 over Judah: Elihu, a brother of David;

over Issachar: Omri son of Michael;

19 over Zebulun: Ishmaiah son of Obadiah;

over Naphtali: Jerimoth son of Azriel;

20 over the Ephraimites: Hoshea son of Azaziah;

over half the tribe of Manasseh: Joel son of Pedaiah;

21 over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead: Iddo son of Zechariah;

over Benjamin: Jaasiel son of Abner;

22 over Dan: Azarel son of Jeroham.

These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.

23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. God’s wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering, and the number was not entered in the book*27:24 Septuagint; Hebrew number of the annals of King David.

Os príncipes das tribos

16 Sobre as tribos de Israel estavam: sobre os rubenitas era líder Eliezer, filho de Zicri; sobre os simeonitas, Sefatias, filho de Maaca. 17 Sobre os levitas, Hasabias, filho de Quemuel; sobre os aronitas, Zadoque; 18 Sobre Judá, Eliú, dos irmãos de Davi; sobre Issacar, Onri, filho de Micael; 19 Sobre Zebulom, Ismaías, filho de Obadias; sobre Naftali, Jerimote, filho de Azriel; 20 Sobre os filhos de Efraim, Oseias, filho de Azazias; sobre a meia tribo de Manassés, Joel, filho de Pedaías; 21 Sobre a outra meia tribo de Manassés em Gileade, Ido, filho de Zacarias; sobre Benjamim, Jaasiel, filho de Abner; 22 Sobre Dã, Azarel, filho de Jeroão. Estes eram os príncipes das tribos de Israel.

23 Não tomou, porém, Davi o número dos de vinte anos para baixo, porquanto o Senhor tinha falado que havia de multiplicar a Israel como as estrelas do céu. 24 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, tinha começado a numerá-los, porém não acabou; porquanto viera por isso grande ira sobre Israel; assim o número não se pôs no registro das crônicas do rei Davi.

25 E sobre os tesouros do rei estava Azmavete, filho de Adiel; e sobre os tesouros dos campos, 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 nas adegas do vinho, Zabdi, o sifmita. 28 E sobre os olivais e sicômoros que havia nas campinas, Baal-Hanã, o gederita; porém Joás sobre os armazéns do azeite. 29 E sobre os gados que pastavam 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 hagrita; todos esses eram administradores da fazenda que tinha o rei Davi.
