This site's exposition

the ruler of the Reubenites

on 1 Chronicles 27:16-22

A second list follows the military one: princes over the tribes, named by descent rather than army rank, and given priority over the twenty-four captains because their standing was older. Adam Clarke notes that Asher and Gad are missing from the record, a gap the text itself does not explain. Benjamin's prince is Jaasiel the son of Abner, the general who opposed David's rise and died by Joab's hand; Matthew Henry reads David's willingness to honor that son as returning good for the father's old enmity.
