31For the Hebronites, Jeriah was the chief of the Hebronites according to his generations by fathers’ houses. In the fortieth year of David’s reign they were sought out, and among them mighty men of valor were found at Jazer of Gilead.

32And his brothers, valiant men, were two thousand seven hundred heads of fathers’ houses; and King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter of God and of the king.
