And over the sheep was Jaziz, a Hagarene. All these were leaders over the substance of king David.

32 Jonathani mamawe wa Daudi aarĩ mũheani kĩrĩra, mũndũ mũmenyi maũndũ na mwandĩki-marũa. Nake Jehieli mũrũ wa Hakimoni nĩwe wamenyagĩrĩra ariũ a mũthamaki.

Now Jonathan, the uncle of David, was a counselor, a prudent and scholarly man; he and Jehiel, the son of Hachmoni, were with the sons of the king.

33 Ahithofeli nĩwe waheaga mũthamaki kĩrĩra. Nake Hushai ũrĩa Mũariki aarĩ mũrata wa mũthamaki.

Now Ahithophel was the counselor of the king; and Hushai, the Archite, was the king’s friend.
