5 The third captain of the army for the third month was Benayah the son of Yehoyada, a chief priest (kohen); and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

6 This is that Benayah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.

7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Yoav, and Zevadyahu his son after him; and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Yisrael: the ruler of the Reubenites (Reuveni) was Eliezer the son of Zichri; of the Shimonites, Shefatyah the son of Maachah;

17 Of the Levites (Lewiyim), Chashavyah the son of Kemuel; of the Aharonites, Zadok;

18 Of Judah (Yehudah), Elihu, one of the brethren of Dawid; of Yissaskhar, Omri the son of Mikhael;

22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Yeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Yisrael.

23 But Dawid took not the number of them from twenty years old and under, because יהוה had said He would increase Yisrael like to the stars of the heavens.

24 Yoav the son of Zeruyah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Yisrael; neither was the number put in the account of the Chronicles of King Dawid.

25 And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan (Yehonatan) the son of Uzziyah.

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; 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 low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite; and over the cellars of oil was Yoash.

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 Over the camels also was Obil the Ismaelite (Yishmaeli); and over the asses was Yechdeyahu the Meronothite;

31 And over the flocks was Yaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was King Dawid’s.

32 Also Jonathan (Yehonatan) Dawid’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Yeiel 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 companion.

34 And after Ahithophel was Yehoyada the son of Benayah, and Aviathar; and the general of the king’s army was Yoav.
