1 Chronicles 4:39-43
39and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.
40There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.
41These who were noted by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings as well as the Meunites who were there, devoting them to destruction1 even to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
42And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir
43and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.
