24The descendantsH1121 of SimeonH8095:
NemuelH5241, JaminH3226, JaribH3402, ZerahH2226,1 and ShaulH7586. 25The sons ofH1121 Shaul: ShallumH7967, MibsamH4017, and MishmaH4927. 26The sonsH1121 of MishmaH4927: HammuelH2536, ZaccurH2139, and ShimeiH8096. 27ShimeiH8096 had sixteenH8337H6240 sonsH1121 and sixH8337 daughtersH1323, but his brothersH251 did notH369 have manyH7227 childrenH1121, so their wholeH3605 clanH4940 did notH3808 become as numerousH7235 asH5704 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063. 28They livedH3427 in BeershebaH884, MoladahH4137, Hazar-shualH2705, 29BilhahH1090, EzemH6107, ToladH8434, 30BethuelH1328, HormahH2767, ZiklagH6860, 31Beth-marcabothH1024, Hazar-susimH2702, Beth-biriH1011, and ShaaraimH8189. TheseH428 were their citiesH5892 untilH5704 the reignH4427 of DavidH1732. 32And their villagesH2691 were EtamH5862, AinH5871, RimmonH7417, TochenH8507, and AshanH6228—fiveH2568 towns— 33and allH3605 their surroundingH5439H5892H428 villagesH2691 asH5704 far as BaalH1168.2 TheseH2063 were their settlementsH4186, and they kept a genealogical recordH3187: 34MeshobabH4877, JamlechH3230, JoshahH3144 sonH1121 of AmaziahH558, 35JoelH3100, JehuH3058 sonH1121 of JoshibiahH3143 (sonH1121 of SeraiahH8304, sonH1121 of AsielH6221), 36ElioenaiH454, JaakobahH3291, JeshohaiahH3439, AsaiahH6222, AdielH5717, JesimielH3450, BenaiahH1141, 37and ZizaH2124 sonH1121 of ShiphiH8230 (sonH1121 of AllonH438, sonH1121 of JedaiahH3042, sonH1121 of ShimriH8113, sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098). 38These menH428 listedH935 by nameH8034 were the leadersH5387 of their clansH4940. Their familiesH1H1004 increasedH6555 greatlyH7230, 39and they journeyedH1980 to the entranceH3996 of GedorH1446H5704, to the east sideH4217 of the valleyH1516, in search ofH1245 pastureH4829 for their flocksH6629. 40There they foundH4672 richH8082, goodH2896 pastureH4829, and the landH776 was spaciousH7342H3027, peacefulH8252, and quietH7961; forH3588 someH4480 HamitesH2526 had livedH3427 thereH8033 formerlyH6440. 41TheseH428 who were notedH3789 by nameH8034 cameH935 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 king ofH4428 JudahH3063. They attackedH5221 the Hamites in their dwellingsH168 as well asH853 the MeunitesH4586 whoH834 wereH4672 thereH8033, devoting them to destructionH27633 even toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117. Then they settledH3427 in their placeH8478, becauseH3588 there was pastureH4829H8033 for their flocksH6629. 42And fiveH2568 hundredH3967 of these SimeonitesH4480H1121H8095 led byH7218 PelatiahH6410, NeariahH5294, RephaiahH7509, and UzzielH5816, the sonsH1121 of IshiH3469, wentH1980 to MountH2022 SeirH8165
