¹⁶These officers were in charge of the tribes of Israel: ¹⁷over Levi was Hashabiah son of Kemuel; ¹⁸over Judah was Elihu, one of David’s brothers; ¹⁹over Zebulun was Ishmaiah son of Obadiah; ²⁰over the Ephraimites was Hoshea son of Azaziah; ²¹over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead was Iddo son of Zechariah; ²²and over Dan was Azarel son of Jeroham. ²³David did not count the men aged twenty or under, because the LORD had said that He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of the sky. ²⁴Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. For because of this census wrath came upon Israel, and the number was not entered in the Book of the Chronicles of King David.
