The descendants of Shimeon (Simeon)

1Ch 4:24–43

24Shimeon’s sons were Nemuel, Yamin, Yarib, Zerah, and Shaul. 25Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mivsam. Mivsam’s son was Mishma. 26The following were Mishma’s descendants: Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zakkur. Zakkur’s son was Shimei. 27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but none of his brothers had many children, so Shimeon’s descendants never were as many as those of his younger brother Yehudah (Judah).

28Shimeon’s descendants lived in these cities and towns: Beer-Sheva (Beersheba), Moladah, Hatsar-Shual,[ref] 29Bilhah, Etsem, Tolad, 30Betuel, Hormah, Tsiklag, 31Beyt-Markaboth, Hatsar-Susim, Beyt-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king. 32They also lived in five villages: Eytam, Ayin, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan, 33and all their villages which are around these towns as far as Baal. Those were their settlements, and they kept their genealogical records.

34Their clan leaders were Meshovav, Yamlek, Yoshah the son of Amatsyah, 35Yoel, Yehu the son of Yoshibiah, the son of Serayah, the son of Asiel, 36as well as Elioenai, Yaakobah, Yeshohaiah, Asayah, Adiel, Yesimiel, Benayah, 37Ziza the son of Shifi, the son of Allon, the son of Yedayah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemayah. 38Those who are named above were the leaders of their clans, and their extended families increased greatly in number, 39and they went to the entrance of Gedor (to the east of the valley) in search of pasture for their flocks. 40They found good, fertile pasture, and the land was wide, and quiet and peaceful, because Ham’s descendants had lived there previously.

41Those listed by name, went there in the days of Yehudah’s King Hezekiah, and struck down the tents of the Meunites who were found there. They completely annihilated them (to this day), and they lived there in their place because pasture for their flock was there. 42Then five hundred of their men who were descendants of Shimeon went to Mt. Seir, led by Yishi’s sons Pelatyah, Nearyah, Refayah, and Uzziel. 43They also struck down the rest of the Amalekites who escaped, and they’ve lived there to this day.


Collected OET-RV cross-references

Josh 19:2-8:

2Shim’on’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 Shim’on’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans.


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).
