1 Chronicles 27:5The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, chief: and in his division were twenty-four thousand.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~970 BC. The chronicler records David's military organization system in the established kingdom of Israel.
The emotion here: methodical pride in documenting God's blessing on Israel's organization
The original word
śar (שַׂר) — captain, prince, one who has rule and authority over others
Why it matters
Each division served only one month per year, creating a citizen-soldier system
Read with care
