By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.

It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].
32 Hans bröder, dugliga män, vore två tusen sju hundra, huvudmän för familjer. Dem satte konung David över rubeniterna, gaditerna och ena hälften av Manasse stam, för att ombesörja alla Guds och konungens angelägenheter.
