1 Chronicles 27:21-31

21 of the half -[tribe] of Menashsheh in Gil`ad, `Iddo the son of Zekharyah: of Binyamin, Ya`asi'el the son of Aviner:
22 of Dan, `Azar'el the son of Yerocham. These were the captains of the tribes of Yisra'el.
23 But David didn't take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said he would increase Yisra'el like the stars of the sky.
24 Yo'av the son of Tzeru'yah began to number, but didn't finish; and there came wrath for this on Yisra'el; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David.
25 Over the king's treasures was `Azmavet the son of `Adi'el: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Yonatan the son of `Uzziyah:
26 Over those who did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was `Ezri the son of Kelub:
27 and over the vineyards was Shim`i the Ramatite: and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine-cellars was Zavdi the Shifmite:
28 and over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the lowland was Ba`al-Hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Yo'ash:
29 and over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shirtai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shafat the son of `Adlai:
30 and over the camels was Ovil the Yishme`elite: and over the donkeys was Yechdeyahu the Meronotite: and over the flocks was Yaziz the Hagrite.
31 All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.
