Deuteronomy 1:14-15

1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken [is] good [for us] to do. 1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
