1 Chronicles 27:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ The Lord had promised to make Israel a nation with as many people as there are stars in the sky. So King David did not count the men who were less than 20 years old. ²⁴ Zeruiah's son Joab had begun to count the men. He did not finish counting them because the Lord started to punish Israel. So nobody wrote the number in the history book about King David's life.

Other officers who served the king

²⁵ Adiel's son Azmaveth had authority over the places in the palace where the king stored his valuable things.

Uzziah's son Jonathan had authority over the places in the different regions of Israel where the king stored his things. Those places were in towns, in villages and in strong towers.
