10. And these were the chief] After this preface (cp. 1Ki_9:23) we expect both here and in 1 Kin. a list of these persons; cp. 1Ch_11:10 ff; 1Ch_12:1 ff. Possibly the text of 1 Kin. suffered at an early date, and the list was missing when the Chronicler wrote.

On the other hand the under-overseers are reckoned at three thousand six hundred in 2Ch_2:18 as against three thousand three hundred in 1Ki_5:16. The total number therefore of overseers of all kinds is given both in 1 Kin. and 2 Chr. as 3850.
