19:1 The allocation to Shimeon’s descendants

Promised land

19The second draw went to Shimeon’s (Simeon’s) descendants and the land for their clans was in the middle of Yehudah’s territory. 2Shimeon’s inheritance included: Beer-Sheba,[fn] Moladah,[ref] 3Hazarshual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Betul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beyt-Markabot. Hatsarsusah, 6Beyt-Lebaot, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities as well as their surrounding villages.

7Also Ain, Rimmon, Eter, and Asha—four cities as well as their surrounding villages, 8and all the further villages around those cities as far as Baalat-Beer (also called Ramah of the Negev). That was Shimeon’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans. 9This took away some of Yehudah’s inheritance and gave it to Shimeons descendants because Yehudah’s initial area was more than they needed.


19:2 TC: Ancient manuscripts differ, with some adding Sheba (possibly a mistaken reduplication) or Shema here (but that would make the total number wrong that’s given in v6).

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
