Now David defined the organization of Israel's army with Joab as army commander, and the army had 12 divisions with 24,000 men in each division, and each division was responsible for a month of the year.
Next came the definition of the tribal leaders with an aborted counting of the people being mentioned. Then too a variety of administrative roles were given to the king's overseers with responsibilities for the royal storehouses, the storehouses of outlying districts, farm workers, vineyards, produce of the wine vats, olive and fig trees, olive oil, herds, camels, donkeys, flocks and King David's property. Then David's uncle Jonathan was a counsellor, Jehiel took care of the king's sons, Ahithophel was the king's counsellor, and Hushai was the king's confidant.
