Contextual Overview

16 These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel: Eliezer son of Zicri, leader of the tribe of Reuben; Shephatiah son of Maacah, leader of the tribe of Simeon; 17 Hashabiah son of Kemuel, leader of the tribe of Levi; Zadok, leader of the people of Aaron; 18 Elihu, one of David's brothers, leader of the tribe of Judah; Omri son of Michael, leader of the tribe of Issachar; 19 Ishmaiah son of Obadiah, leader of the tribe of Zebulun; Jeremoth son of Azriel, leader of the tribe of Naphtali; 20 Hoshea son of Azaziah, leader of the tribe of Ephraim; Joel son of Pedaiah, leader of West Manasseh; 21 Iddo son of Zechariah, leader of East Manasseh; Jaasiel son of Abner, leader of the tribe of Benjamin; 22 Azarel son of Jeroham, leader of the tribe of Dan. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23 David decided to count the men in Israel. There were very many people because the Lord had promised to make the Israelites as many as the stars in the sky. So David counted only the men who were 20 years old and older. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the people, but he did not finish. God became angry with the Israelites. That is why the number of the people was not put in the book, The History of King David. 25 This is the list of men who were responsible for the king's property: Azmaveth son of Adiel was in charge of the king's storerooms. Jonathan son of Uzziah was in charge of the storerooms in the small towns, villages, fields, and towers.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This section is important as showing that David, the younger son of a not very opulent family 1Sa 16:11, 1 Samuel 16:20, had now become a large landed proprietor, as well as a capitalist, possessed of much moveable wealth. We may perhaps see the sources of both these kinds of property, in the successful wars which he had waged 1 Samuel 27:8-9; 1 Samuel 30:20; 2 Samuel 8:4, 2Sa 8:7-8, 2 Samuel 8:12; in the revenue derived from subject kings 1 Samuel 8:2, 1 Samuel 8:14; 1 Samuel 10:19; and in the purchase and occupation of lands in different places. Further, he enjoyed, of course, the usual rights of a Jewish king over the landed property of his subjects, and was thus entitled to receive a tithe of the produce in tithes (1 Samuel 8:15, 1 Samuel 8:17) and in “benevolences.” Compare 1 Samuel 10:27; 1 Samuel 16:20, etc.

1 Chronicles 27:25

The castles - Probably the watchtowers in the border districts, exposed to raids from the plundering tribes of the desert 2 Chronicles 26:10; 2 Chronicles 27:4.

1 Chronicles 27:28

In the low plains - Rather, “in the Shephelah,” the proper name of the low tract between the hill country of Judaea and the Mediterranean.
