The sons of Simeon were Nemuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.The sons of Mishma were Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, and Shimei his son.Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family increase like the sons of Judah.They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar shual,in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,Beth marcaboth, Hazar susim, Beth biri, and Shaaraim.

Then the second lot went to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.So they had in their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba and Moladah,Hazar shual, Balah, and Ezem,Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah,Ziklag, Beth marcaboth, and Hazar susah,Beth lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages;and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, because the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of Judah’s inheritance.

2 Samuel 13 22-2 Samuel 13 28
But Absalom did not speak with Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons to celebrate.And Absalom came to the king and said,“ Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the king and his servants please go with your servant.”But the king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, we should not all go, so that we will not be a burden to you.” Though he urged him, he would not go; but he blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please have my brother Amnon go with us.” But the king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”Nevertheless Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying,“ See now, when Amnon’s heart is cheerful with wine, and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon,’ then put him to death. Do not fear; have I not commanded you myself? Be courageous and be valiant.”

Then the heads of fathers’ households of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying,“ The Lord commanded through Moses to give us cities to live in, with their pasture lands for our cattle.”So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, in accordance with the command of the Lord.Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And to the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, thirteen cities were given by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of the Simeonites, and from the tribe of Benjamin.And to the rest of the sons of Kohath ten cities were given by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half tribe of Manasseh.And to the sons of Gershon thirteen cities were given by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.To the sons of Merari according to their families twelve cities were given from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.Now the sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasture lands, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.They gave these cities which are mentioned here by name from the tribe of the sons of Judah and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon;and they were for the sons of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, of the sons of Levi, because the lot was theirs first.So they gave them Kiriath arba( Arba being the father of Anak), that is, Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with its surrounding pasture lands.But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.So to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Libnah with its pasture lands,Jattir with its pasture lands, Eshtemoa with its pasture lands,Holon with its pasture lands, Debir with its pasture lands,Ain with its pasture lands, Juttah with its pasture lands, and Beth shemesh with its pasture lands;

four cities.And from the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasture lands, Gibbethon with its pasture lands,Aijalon with its pasture lands, Gath rimmon with its pasture lands; four cities.From the half tribe of Manasseh, they allotted Taanach with its pasture lands and Gath rimmon with its pasture lands; two cities.All the cities with their pasture lands for the families of the rest of the sons of Kohath were ten.And to the sons of Gershon, one of the families of the Levites, from the half tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, and Be eshterah with its pasture lands; two cities.And from the tribe of Issachar they gave Kishion with its pasture lands, Daberath with its pasture lands,Jarmuth with its pasture lands, and En gannim with its pasture lands; four cities.From the tribe of Asher, they gave Mishal with its pasture lands, Abdon with its pasture lands,Helkath with its pasture lands, and Rehob with its pasture lands; four cities.And from the tribe of Naphtali, they gave Kedesh in Galilee, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Hammoth dor with its pasture lands, and Kartan with its pasture lands; three cities.All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their pasture lands.And to the families of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasture lands, Kartah with its pasture lands,Dimnah with its pasture lands, and Nahalal with its pasture lands; four cities.From the tribe of Reuben they gave Bezer with its pasture lands, Jahaz with its pasture lands,Kedemoth with its pasture lands, and Mephaath with its pasture lands; four cities.And from the tribe of Gad, they gave Ramoth in Gilead, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Mahanaim with its pasture lands,Heshbon with its pasture lands, and Jazer with its pasture lands; four cities in all.All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty eight cities with their pasture lands.These cities individually had their surrounding pasture lands; this is how it was with all these cities.So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and lived in it.And the Lord gave them rest on every side, in accordance with everything that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord handed all their enemies over to them.Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; everything came to pass.
