Over the Reubenites was Eliezer son of Zichri

on 1 Chronicles 27:16-22

A second list follows the military one: officers over the tribes, ranked above the captains because their standing was older. Adam Clarke notes that Asher and Gad are missing from the record. Benjamin's officer is “Jaasiel son of Abner”, whose father opposed David's rise and died by Joab's hand.

over Dan was Azarel

Azarel son of Jeroham led Dan, the last of the charges. The list closes by calling these men the tribal leaders of Israel. It runs to thirteen charges, with Asher and Gad absent from it.
