23 But
David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the
LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
24 Joab
the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell
wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the
chronicles of king David.
25 And

herds that were in
the valleys was Shaphat
the son of Adlai:
30 Over
the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the
