Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son
of Adlai: 27:30and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the
Meronothite: and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. 27:31All these were the rulers of the
substance which was king David's. 27:32Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man of
understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:
27:33Ahithophel was the king's counselor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend: 27:34and after
Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king's host was Joab.
