16 And over the tribes of Israel, the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri.

Omri the son of Michael was over Issachar. 19 Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah was over Zebulun. Jerimoth the son of Azriel was over Naphtali. 20 Hoshea the son of Azaziah was over the sons of Ephraim.

Jaasiel the son of Abner was over Benjamin. 22 Azareel the son of Jeroham was over Dan. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23 But David did not take the number of them from the son of twenty years and under, because Jehovah had said He would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he did not finish. And wrath was on Israel for this. And the number did not go up in the account of the Matters of the Days of King David. 25 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel. And Jehonathan the son of Uzziah was over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the strongholds.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Elihu: If Elihu be not a mistake for Eliab, it is probable that he was called by both names. 1 Samuel 16:6, 1 Samuel 17:13, 1 Samuel 17:29, Eliab

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 2:13 - Eliab 2 Chronicles 11:18 - Eliab

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Gad and Asher are omitted from this list of the tribes. Similarly, Dan and Zebulon are omitted from the genealogical survey of the tribes 1 Chr. 4–8. We can only suppose that the lists, as they came down to the writer of Chronicles, were incomplete. The “rulers” or “princes” of the tribes appear to have been the oldest lineal descendants of the patriarchs according to the law of primogeniture.
