27 Dette er Israels barn efter deres tall, med deres familiehoder og høvedsmennene over tusen og over hundre og deres tilsynsmenn, som tjente kongen i alt som vedkom hær-delingene; disse hær-delinger tiltrådte og fratrådte skiftevis hver måned gjennem hele året, og hver deling var på fire og tyve tusen mann.

Over den første hær-deling, som gjorde tjeneste i den første måned, stod Jasobam, Sabdiels sønn, og til hans deling hørte fire og tyve tusen mann;

han var en av Peres' efterkommere, den øverste av alle hærførerne som gjorde tjeneste i den første måned.

Over den hær-deling som gjorde tjeneste i den annen måned, stod ahohitten Dodai; ved hans deling var fyrsten Miklot, og til hans deling hørte fire og tyve tusen mann.

Den tredje hærfører, som gjorde tjeneste i den tredje måned, var Benaja, presten Jojadas sønn, som var den øverste, og til hans deling hørte fire og tyve tusen mann;

denne Benaja var en helt blandt de tretti og stod over de tretti, og ved hans hær-deling var hans sønn Ammisabad.

23 Men David tok ikke tall på dem som var under tyve år; for Herren hadde sagt at han vilde gjøre Israel tallrikt som himmelens stjerner.

24 Joab, Serujas sønn, begynte å telle, men fullendte det ikke, og Guds vrede kom over Israel for dette, og tallet blev ikke opført i manntallet i kong Davids krønike.

25 Opsynet over kongens skatter hadde Asmavet, Adiels sønn, over forrådene på marken, i byene og landsbyene og i festningstårnene Jonatan, Ussias sønn,
