1 Chron 27:1–15 The 12 military commanders are listed among David’s “mighty men” (11:11–47) and among the leaders of Israel directly involved in the temple preparations (28:1). The army depicted here is not David’s more permanent force (see 2 Sam. 15:18; 23:8–39). Instead it is a citizen militia of 12 divisions, each doing a month’s duty on rotation. 24,000. Probably either an ideal number or “24 units.”
1 Chron 27:16–22 These leaders of the tribes are probably David’s appointees. Their actual role is unknown. The order of the tribes differs here from ch. 2. Aaron is counted as a tribe and Gad and Asher are omitted.
1 Chron 27:23–24 Joab did not complete the unauthorized census (21:6) because he recognized that David’s order was against God’s promise to Abraham of countless descendants (see Gen. 15:5).
1 Chron 27:25–31 A list of 12 administrators of the royal property (v. 31b). The incomes from these sources would have met some of the expenses of David’s government.
1 Chron 27:32–34 An additional list of royal counselors (see 18:14–17). This Jonathan, David’s uncle, is not otherwise known. Ahithophel is mentioned frequently in 2 Sam. 15:12–17:23.
