23 David did not count those less than twenty years old, because Jehovah promised that the people of Israel would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab, son of Zeruiah, started to count them but did not finish. God was angry with Israel because of this, and the report from it was never included in the official records of King David. 25 These were all the commanders in charge of King David's property: for the royal treasuries, Azmaveth, son of Adiel for the goods in the fields, cities, villages, and watchtowers- Jonathan, son of Uzziah 26 for the farm workers in the fields, Ezri, son of Chelub 27 for the vineyards, Shimei from Ramah for storing wine that came from the vineyards- Zabdi from Shepham 28 for the olive and fig trees in the foothills, Baal Hanan from Gedor for storing olive oil- Joash 29 for the herds grazing in Sharon, Shitrai from Sharon for the herds in the valleys- Shaphat, son of Adlai 30 for the camels, Obil, a descendant of Ishmael for the donkeys, Jehdeiah from Meronoth 31 for the flocks, Jaziz from Hagar
