| ¶ | But 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. | |
| Joab 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. | ||
| ¶ | And 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: | |

| And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite [was] the king's companion: | ||
| And after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army [was] Joab. |
