31 Among the Hebronites, ^aJerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them capable men ^bat Jazer of Gilead.

32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers’ houses, whom King David made officials over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the ^aaffairs of the king.

OFFICERS AND JUDGES. (I Chronicles 26:29-32)

officers and judges—The word rendered "officers" is the term which signifies scribes or secretaries, so that the Levitical class here described were magistrates, who, attended by their clerks, exercised judicial functions; there were six thousand of them (I Chronicles 23:4), who probably acted like their brethren on the principle of rotation, and these were divided into three classes—one (I Chronicles 26:29) for the outward business over Israel; one (I Chronicles 26:30), consisting of seventeen hundred, for the west of Jordan "in all business of the Lord, and in the service of the king"; and the third (I Chronicles 26:31-32), consisting of twenty-seven hundred, "rulers for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king."
