Commentators point out that this list of tribal leaders is different from others in Chronicles; Gad and Asher are missing, while Dan and Zebulun are included. The scholarly consensus is not that this is an error, but that the Chronicler was faithfully using historical sources that were themselves incomplete. This shows the human element in the Bible's compilation without undermining its divine purpose.
