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.

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 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.

1 São estes os filhos de Israel segundo o seu número, os chefes das famílias e os capitães de milhares e de centenas com os seus oficiais, que serviam o rei em todos os negócios dos turnos que entravam e saíam de mês em mês durante o ano. Cada turno era de vinte e quatro mil.

16 Estes foram os chefes das tribos de Israel: sobre os rubenitas era chefe Eliézer, 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 chefes das tribos de Israel.

23 Davi não contou os que tinham menos de vinte anos, porque o Senhor tinha dito que multiplicaria Israel como as estrelas do céu. 24 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, tinha começado a contar o povo, porém não acabou, visto que, por causa desse censo, veio grande ira sobre Israel. Por isso o número não foi registrado na história do rei Davi.

25 Azmavete, filho de Adiel, cuidava dos tesouros do rei; Jônatas, filho de Uzias, cuidava do que o rei possuía nos campos, nas cidades, nas aldeias e nos castelos. 26 Ezri, filho de Quelube, cuidava dos lavradores do campo, que cultivavam a terra. 27 Simei, o ramatita, cuidava das vinhas; porém Zabdi, o sifmita, cuidava do que entrava das vinhas para as adegas. 28 Baal-Hanã, o gederita, cuidava dos olivais e sicômoros que havia na Sefelá; porém Joás cuidava dos depósitos do azeite. 29 Sitrai, o saronita, cuidava do gado que pastava em Sarom; porém Safate, filho de Adlai, cuidava do gado dos vales. 30 Obil, o ismaelita, cuidava dos camelos; Jedias, o meronotita, cuidava das jumentas. 31 Jaziz, o hagareno, cuidava das ovelhas; todos estes eram administradores dos bens do rei Davi.

32 Jônatas, tio de Davi, era do conselho, homem sábio e escriba. Jeiel, filho de Hacmoni, cuidava dos filhos do rei. 33 Aitofel era do conselho do rei. Husai, o arquita, era amigo do rei. 34 A Aitofel sucederam Joiada, filho de Benaia, e Abiatar. Joabe era comandante do exército do rei.
