1 Israeliterne efter deres Tal: Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder, Tusind- og Hundredførerne og deres Fogeder, som tjente Kongen i alle Sager vedrørende Skifterne, de, der skiftevis trådte til og fra hver Måned hele Året rundt, hvert Skifte på 24000 Mand:
1 Now this is the enumeration of the sons of Israel, the heads of fathers’ households, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all the affairs of the divisions which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each division numbering 24,000:
24 Joab, Zerujas Søn, begyndte at tælle dem, men fuldførfe det ikke; thi for den Sags Skyld ramtes Israel af Vrede, og Tallet indførtes ikke i Kong Davids Krønike.
24 Joab 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.
25 Over Kongens Skatte havde Azmavet, Adiels Søn, Opsynet, og over Forrådene ude på Landet, i Byerne, Landsbyerne og Fæstningerne Jonatan, Uzzijas Søn;
25 Now Azmaveth the son of Adiel had charge of the king’s storehouses. And Jonathan the son of Uzziah had charge of the storehouses in the country, in the cities, in the villages and in the towers.
