The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite;

Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5
Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6
Elkanah, Jisshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

10
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
