Joab, the son of Zeruiah, had begun to number, but he did not finish; and because of this, wrath fell upon Israel; and
thus the number was not put in the account of the chronicles of King David.
25
And Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, had charge of the king’s treasures and of the treasures of the fields, of the cities, and of the villages, and of the castles,
was Jehonathan, the son of Uzziah;
26
and over those that did the work of the tillage of the ground in the fields
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 sycamore trees that
were in the low plains
was Baalhanan, the Gederite; and over the cellars of oil, Joash;
29
and over the cows that fed in Sharon
was Shitrai, the Sharonite; and over the cows
that were in the valleys
was Shaphat, the son of Adlai;
30
over the camels, Obil, the Ishmaelite; and over the asses, Jehdeiah, the Meronothite;
31
and over the sheep
was Jaziz, the Hagerite. All these
were the princes of the substance which
was King David’s.
32
And Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni had charge of the king’s sons.
33
Ahithophel
was the king’s counsellor; and Hushai, the Archite,
was the king’s companion.
34
And after Ahithophel
was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. And Joab was the general of the king’s army.
