Princes and Rulers Over the Tribes

16

Now the chiefs over the tribes of Israel were these: over the Rubenites, Eliezer the son of Zechri was ruler: over the Simeonites, Saphatias the son of Maacha:

17

Over the Levites, Hasabias the son of Camuel: over the Aaronites, Sadoc:

18

Over Juda, Eliu the brother of David over Issachar, Amri the son of Michael:

19

Over the Zabulonites, Jesmaias the son of Adias: over the Nephtalites, Jerimoth the son of Ozriel:

20

Over the sons of Ephraim, Osee the son of Ozaziu: over the half tribe of Manasses, Joel the son of Phadaia:

21

And over the half tribe of Manasses in Galaad, Jaddo the son of Zacharias: and over Benjamin, Jasiel the son of Abner.

22

And over Dan, Ezrihel the son of Jeroham: these were the princes of the children of Israel.

23

But David would not number them from twenty years old and under: because the lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars of heaven.

24

Joab the son of Sarvia began to number, but he finished not: because upon this there fell wrath upon Israel: and therefore the number of them that were numbered, was not registered in the chronicles of king David.
