1 Chronicles 4 24-1 Chronicles 4 43
The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zohar, and Shaul.The descendants of Shaul were Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.The descendants of Mishma were Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but none of his brothers had large families. So Simeon’s tribe never grew as large as the tribe of Judah.They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar shual,Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,Beth marcaboth, Hazar susim, Beth biri, and Shaaraim. These towns were under their control until the time of King David.Their descendants also lived in Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan— five townsand their surrounding villages as far away as Baalath. This was their territory, and these names are listed in their genealogical records.Other descendants of Simeon included Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel,Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,and Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah.These were the names of some of the leaders of Simeon’s wealthy clans. Their families grew,and they traveled to the region of Gerar, in the east part of the valley, seeking pastureland for their flocks.They found lush pastures there, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful. Some of Ham’s descendants had been living in that region.But during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, these leaders of Simeon invaded the region and completely destroyed the homes of the descendants of Ham and of the Meunites. No trace of them remains today. They killed everyone who lived there and took the land for themselves, because they wanted its good pastureland for their flocks.Five hundred of these invaders from the tribe of Simeon went to Mount Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel— all sons of Ishi.They destroyed the few Amalekites who had survived, and they have lived there ever since.

“ Simeon and Levi are two of a kind; their weapons are instruments of violence.May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.A curse on their anger, for it is fierce; a curse on their wrath, for it is cruel. I will scatter them among the descendants of Jacob; I will disperse them throughout Israel.
