1 Chronicles 27:28-34

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.

32 Also Yonatan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a Sofer: and Yechi'el the son of Hakhmoni was with the king's sons:

33 Achitofel was the king's counselor: and Hushai the Arki was the king's friend:

34 and after Achitofel was Yehoiada the son of Benayah, and Avyatar: and the captain of the king's host was Yo'av.
