Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold. And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai; To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord. And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents; So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.
And Shitrai the Sharonite was responsible for the herds in the grass-lands of Sharon, and Shaphat, the son of Adlai, for those in the valleys; Obil the Ishmaelite had control of the camels and Jehdeiah the Meronothite of the she-asses; The flocks were in the care of Jaziz the Hagarite. All these were the controllers of King David's property.
