²⁷ out of the battles and out of the spoil, had they hallowed [them],—to strengthen [the provision] for the house of Yahweh.

²⁸ And, all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, had hallowed, whosoever had hallowed anything, it was under the direction of Shelomoth, and his brethren.

³² and, his brethren that were heroes of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred, ancestral chiefs,—so David the king gave them oversight, over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manassites, in all the affairs of God, and the affairs of the king.
