Of the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to their generations by fathers’ households.
They were sought for in the fortieth year of the reign of David, and mighty men of valor were found among them at Jazer of Gilead.
His relatives, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers’ households, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.
