25 And over the treasures of the king 'is' Azmaveth son of Adiel; and over the treasures in the field, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers, 'is' Jehonathan son of Uzziah; 26 and over workmen of the field for the service of the ground 'is' Ezri son of Chelub; 27 and over the vineyards 'is' Shimei the Ramathite; and over what 'is' in the vineyards for the treasures of wine 'is' Zabdi the Shiphmite; 28 and over the olives, and the sycamores, that 'are' in the low country, 'is' Baal-Hanan the Gederite; and over the treasures of oil 'is' Joash; 29 and over the herds that are feeding in Sharon 'is' Shitrai the Sharonite; and over the herds in the valleys 'is' Shaphat son of Adlai; 30 and over the camels 'is' Obil the Ishmeelite; and over the asses 'is' Jehdeiah the Meronothite; 31 and over the flock 'is' Jaziz the Hagerite; all these 'are' heads of the substance that king David hath.

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:16-34
(Read 1 Chronicles 27:16-34)
The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, had the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all. Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors.
