What Does 1 Chronicles 27:31 Mean?
The catalog of stewards closes with Jaziz the Hagerite over the flocks, and a summary follows: all these were the rulers of the substance that belonged to King David. Every part of the royal estate, from treasure to flock, was faithfully overseen.
The whole sweep of these verses teaches that nothing is too small to be stewarded well, and that all of it belongs ultimately to the king, not to its keepers. So the earth and its fullness are the Lord's; we are entrusted stewards of His abundance, called to faithfulness in all that passes through our hands.
