1 Chronicles 27:21-31

21 of the halftribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;
22 of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.
23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said He would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens.
24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number them but he finished not, because there fell wrath because of it against Israel, neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of King David.
25 And over the king's treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the strongholds, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah.
26 And over those who 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 sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite, and over the cellars of oil was Joash.
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 Ishmaelite, and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite,
31 and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was King David's.
