24 Shebuel (captive of God), a descendant of Gershom (foreigner) son of Moses (drawn out), was the officer in charge of the treasuries.

25 His relatives through Eliezer included (God is my helper) Rehabiah (YHWH has enlarged) his son, Jeshaiah (Isshiah) his son, Joram (YHWH is exalted) his son, Zichri (memorable) his son, and Shelomith (peaceful) his son.

26 This Shelomith (peaceful) and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David (beloved), by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.

27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD {YHWH}.

28 Everything that had been dedicated by Samuel (his name is El) the seer, Saul (desired) son of Kish (bent), Abner (my father is a lamp) son of Ner (lamp), and Joab (YHWH is father) son of Zeruiah (balsam), along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith (peaceful) and his brothers.

29 From the Izharites (oil), Chenaniah (YHWH establishes) and his sons had the outside duties (the duties outside the temple) as officers and judges over Israel (he wrestles with God).

30 From the Hebronites, Hashabiah (YHWH has considered) and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had charge of the affairs of Israel (he wrestles with God) west of the Jordan (flowing down) for all the work of the LORD {YHWH} and for the service of the king.

31 As for the Hebronites, Jerijah (Jeriah) was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David’s (beloved) reign the records were searched, and strong, capable men were found among the Hebronites at Jazer (helped) in Gilead (rocky region).

32 Among Jerijah’s relatives there were 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David (beloved) appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites (a troop / fortune), and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God {Elohim} and for the affairs of the king.
