This chapter outlines the military and civil structure, including the army commanders (1-15), the tribal chiefs (16-22), the king’s property managers (25-31), and the seven royal advisors (32-34). Their placement at the end of all the Levitical and priestly lists emphasizes that civil duties are somewhat secondary to the religious organization. The list of the king’s administrators offers a clear overview of the agricultural and livestock economy of that time, along with an effective taxation system.
