1 Chronicles 27:23

Verse 23 of 34. The 27th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

19of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel;

20of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;

21of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;

22of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains of the tribes of Israel.

23But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

24Joab the son of Zeruiah began to take a census, but didn’t finish; and wrath came on Israel for this. The number wasn’t put into the account in the chronicles of King David.

25Over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel. Over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, in the villages, and in the towers was Jonathan the son of Uzziah;

26Over those who did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub.

27Over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite. Over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite.
