17for Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok;
18for Judah, Elihu, one of David’s brothers; for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;

21for the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; for Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;
22for Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23But David did not count those twenty years of age and under, because the Lord had said He would multiply Israel as the stars of heaven.
24Joab the son of Zeruiah had begun to count them, but did not finish; and because of this, wrath came upon Israel, and the number was not included in the account of the chronicles of King David.
King James Version
Chapter 27
2Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 3Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
5The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
6This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.
23But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the Lord had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
24Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.
25And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

4Dodai the Ahohite was in charge of the division for the second month, and Mikloth was the leader; 24,000 were in his division.
5The third army commander, as chief for the third month, was Benaiah son of the priest Jehoiada; 24,000 were in his division.
23David didn’t count the men aged twenty or under, for the Lord had said he would make Israel as numerous as the stars of the sky.
24Joab son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he didn’t complete it. There was wrath against Israel because of this census, and the number was not entered in the Historical Record of King David.

5Benaiah son of Jehoiada the priest was commander of the third division of 24,000 troops, which was on duty during the third month.
6This was the Benaiah who commanded David’s elite military group known as the Thirty. His son Ammizabad was his chief officer.
16The following were the tribes of Israel and their leaders: Reuben — Eliezer son of Zicri Simeon — Shephatiah son of Maacah
17Levi — Hashabiah son of Kemuel Aaron (the priests) — Zadok
18Judah — Elihu (a brother of David) Issachar — Omri son of Michael

20Ephraim — Hoshea son of Azaziah Manasseh (west) — Joel son of Pedaiah

23When David took his census, he did not count those who were younger than twenty years of age, because the Lord had promised to make the Israelites as numerous as the stars in heaven.
24Joab son of Zeruiah began the census but never finished it because the anger of God fell on Israel. The total number was never recorded in King David’s official records.
