16 The following officers were in charge of the tribes of Israel: for the tribe of Reuben Eliezer, son of Zichri for the tribe of Simeon Shephatiah, son of Maacah 17 for the tribe of Levi Hashabiah, son of Kemuel for the family of Aaron Zadok 18 for the tribe of Judah Elihu, one of David's brothers for the tribe of Issachar Omri, son of Michael 19 for the tribe of Zebulun Ishmaiah, son of Obadiah for the tribe of Naphtali Jerimoth, son of Azriel 20 for the tribe of Ephraim Hoshea, son of Azaziah for half of the tribe of Manasseh Joel, son of Pedaiah 21 for the half of Manasseh in Gilead Iddo, son of Zechariah for the tribe of Benjamin Jaasiel, son of Abner 22 for the tribe of Dan Azarel, son of Jeroham These were the commanders of Israel's tribes. 23 David didn't count those under 20 years old, because the LORD had promised that the people of Israel would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab, son of Zeruiah, started to count them but didn't finish. God was angry with Israel because of this, and the report from it was never included in the official records of King David. 1 Chronicles 27:16-24, God's Word Translation.
