This appears to be a fairly exhaustive list of the leaders
in Israel who served under King David. There
were 12 captains who served David on duty 1 month out of each year on a monthly
rotation. Each of those men had 24,000
men who were directly connected to them.
There were 12 "tribal leaders" who were also
listed here, well, 13 if you include Zadok of the Aaronites... and strangely,
Asher & Gad were not mentioned. Instead, Manasseh was given 2 slots due to
their divided land possession on both the eastern and western sides of the
Jordan River and, Levi is included too... again, twice if you include Aaron's
family as an equal unit.
Additionally, David had men who were his delegates who were in charge of each category of his possessions. So there was a boss for each major area of responsibility in Israel: the treasury, the storehouses, the fields and farms, the vineyards and wine cellars, the olive trees, the sycamore trees, the oil cellars, the herds, the camels, the donkeys and the flocks of sheep.
