1 Chronicles 26:32 - Barnes' Notes

1 Chronicles 26:32

30 Of the Hebronites, ^aHashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.

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.

Rulers - This term is somewhat too strong. The same kind of office was assigned to Jerijah and his brethren in the trans-Jordanic region as to Hashabiah and his brethren in western Palestine I Chronicles 26:30, namely, a superintendence over religious matters and over the interests of the king.
