In the fortieth year of the rule of David a search was made, and able men were seen among them at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brothers were two thousand, seven hundred able men, heads of families, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in everything to do with God, and for the king's business.
