And over the tillage, and the husbandmen, who tilled the ground, was Ezri the son of Chelub:
27
And over the dressers of the vine yards, was Semeias a Romathite: and over the wine cellars, Zabdias an Aphonite.
28
And over the oliveyards and the fig groves, which were in the plains, was Balanam a Gederite: and over the oil cellars, Joas.
29

30
And over the camels, Ubil an Ishmahelite and over the asses, Jadias a Meronathite:
31
And over the sheep Jaziz an Agarene. All these were the rulers of the substance of king David.
32
And Jonathan David’s uncle, a counsellor, a wise and learned man: he and Jahiel the son of Hachamoni were with the king’s sons.
