14 The eleventh, for the eleventh month, was Benaiah the Pirathonite from the sons of Ephraim; 24,000 were in his division.
15 The twelfth, for the twelfth month, was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel's family;[a] 24,000 were in his division.
16 [The following were] in charge of the tribes of Israel: For the Reubenites, Eliezer son of Zichri was the chief official; for the Simeonites, Shephatiah son of Maacah;
17 for the Levites, Hashabiah son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok;
18 for Judah, Elihu, one of David's brothers; for Issachar, Omri son of Michael;
19 for Zebulun, Ishmaiah son of Obadiah; for Naphtali, Jerimoth son of Azriel;
20 for the Ephraimites, Hoshea son of Azaziah; for half the tribe of Manasseh, Joel son of Pedaiah;
21 for half the tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo son of Zechariah; for Benjamin, Jaasiel son of Abner;
22 for Dan, Azarel son of Jeroham. Those were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 David didn't count the men aged 20 or under, for the Lord had said He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaven.
24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he didn't complete it. There was wrath against Israel because of this [census],[b] and the number was not entered in the Historical Record[c] of King David.
