5 The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, chief: and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

6 This is that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the Thirty, and over the Thirty: and of his division was Ammizabad his son.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zikri the ruler: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah:

Inilah daftar nama kepala suku dalam bangsa Israel: (Suku-Kepala), Ruben-Eliezer anak Zikhri; Simeon-Sefaca anak Maakha; Lewi-Hasabya anak Kemuel; Harun-Zadok; Yehuda-Elihu, salah seorang saudara Raja Daud; Isakhar-Omri anak Mikhael; Zebulon-Yismaya anak Obaja; Naftali-Yerimot anak Azriel; Efraim-Hosea anak Azazya; Manasye yang di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan-Yoel anak Pedaya; Manasye yang di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan-Yido anak Zakharia; Benyamin-Yaasiel anak Abner; Dan-Azareel anak Yeroham.

17 of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of Aaron, Zadok:

18 of Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:

19 of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel:

22 of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David did not take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

Raja Daud tidak mengadakan sensus di antara orang-orang yang berumur di bawah 20 tahun, sebab TUHAN sudah berjanji hendak membuat orang Israel sebanyak bintang di langit.

24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but did not finish; and there came wrath for this on Israel; neither was the number entered in the scroll of the chronicles of King David.

Yoab anak Zeruya sudah mulai mengadakan sensus, tetapi ia tidak menyelesaikannya, sebab Allah menghukum orang Israel, karena sensus itu. Itulah sebabnya jumlah mereka tidak tercatat dalam buku Raja Daud.

25 Over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah:

31 All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.

32 Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:

Paman Raja Daud yang bernama Yonatan, adalah seorang penasihat yang pandai dan terpelajar. Ia dan Yehiel anak Hakhmoni diserahi tanggung jawab atas pendidikan putra-putra raja.

33 Ahithophel was the king's counselor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend:

34 and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king's army was Joab.

Setelah Ahitofel meninggal, ia digantikan oleh Abyatar dan Yoyada anak Benaya. Panglima angkatan perang kerajaan adalah Yoab.
