24 These are the numbers of the heads of those armed for war who came to David in Hebron to transfer Saul’s kingdom to him, according to the word of Adonai:
25 The sons of Judah that bore shield and spear were 6,800, armed for war;
26 from the sons of Simeon, 7,100 brave warriors ready for war;
27 from the sons of Levi 4,600;
28 Jehoiada the leader of the Aaronides and with him 3,700;
29 Zadok, a young mighty man of valor, with 22 commanders from his clan;
30 from the sons of Benjamin, Saul’s kinsmen, 3,000 for up to that time the majority of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house;
