Quick answer
Iddo led the eastern half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, and Jaasiel led Benjamin. It names officers over these tribes.
Overview
The Gileadite half of Manasseh was led by Iddo, while Benjamin was overseen by Jaasiel, Abner's son. Including Abner's son shows former rivalries reconciled within David's unified kingdom. The Chronicler's full account portrays an Israel knit together under the Lord's chosen ruler.
