1 Chronicles 4:27-39

27Shimei had 16 sons and 6 daughters. But his brothers didn’t have many children, so their entire family didn’t become as large as the people of Judah.

28Simeon’s descendants lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,

29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until David became king.

32Their five cities were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan.

33They also had all the villages around these cities as far as the city of Baal. These places were where they lived, and they had their own genealogical records:

34Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah (son of Amaziah),

35Joel, Jehu (son of Joshibiah, grandson of Seraiah, and great-grandson of Asiel),

36Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and

37Ziza (son of Shiphi, grandson of Allon, great-grandson of Jedaiah, a descendant of Shimri and Shemaiah).

38These who are mentioned by name were leaders in their families, and the number of people in their households increased.

39They moved to the outskirts of Gedor, on the east side of the valley, to find pasture for their flocks.
