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.

9 De zesde, in de zesde maand, was Ira, de zoon van Ikkes, de Thekoiet; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

10 De zevende, in de zevende maand, was Helez, de Peloniet, uit de kinderen van Efraim; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

11 De achtste, in de achtste maand, was Sibbechai, de Husathiet, van de Zerahieten; in zijn verdeling waren er ook vier en twintig duizend.

14 De elfde, in de elfde maand, was Benaja, de Pirhathoniet, van de kinderen van Efraim; 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, to wit, the heads of fathers’ houses and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers that served the king, in any matter of the courses which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year-of every course were twenty and four thousand. 2 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 3 He was of the children of Perez, the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month. 4 And over the course of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite, and his course; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, chief: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 6 This is that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the thirty, and over the thirty: and of his course was Ammizabad his son. 7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 8 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 9 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 10 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 11 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zerahites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 12 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 13 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zerahites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 14 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 15 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri 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 brethren 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 took not the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of heaven. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but finished not; and there came wrath for this upon Israel; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David.

25 And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah: 26 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: 27 and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine-cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: 28 and over the olive-trees and the sycomore-trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: 29 and over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: 30 and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. 31 All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s.

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