1 Chronicles27:16
16 Furthermore, over the children of Israel : the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacha.
i. e. These were the Princes of the Tribes, as they are called below, v. 22. who were the most ancient and constant Rulers of the Tribes at all times whether of War or Peace; who seem to have had a Superiour Power to these 24 Captains, and therefore are named before them, ch. 28. 1. being probably the Kings Chief Counsellours and Assistants in the great Affairs of his Kingdom.
