Contextual Overview

16 The officers of the Israelite tribes: Eliezer son of Zikri was the leader of the Reubenites, Shephatiah son of Maacah led the Simeonites, 17 Hashabiah son of Kemuel led the Levites, Zadok led the descendants of Aaron, 18 Elihu, a brother of David, led Judah, Omri son of Michael led Issachar, 19 Ishmaiah son of Obadiah led Zebulun, Jerimoth son of Azriel led Naphtali, 20 Hoshea son of Azaziah led the Ephraimites, Joel son of Pedaiah led the half-tribe of Manasseh, 21 Iddo son of Zechariah led the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Jaasiel son of Abner led Benjamin, 22 Azarel son of Jeroham led Dan. These were the commanders of the Israelite tribes. 23 David did not count the males twenty years old and under, for the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah started to count the men but did not finish. God was angry with Israel because of this, so the number was not recorded in the scroll called The Annals of King David. 25 Azmaveth son of Adiel was in charge of the king's storehouses; Jonathan son of Uzziah was in charge of the storehouses in the field, in the cities, in the towns, and in the towers.
