1 Chronicles 4:24-43

24The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

25his son Shallum, his son Mibsam, and his son Mishma.

26The descendants of Mishma: His son Hammuel, his son Zaccur, and his son Shimei.

27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. But his brothers did not have many sons, so their whole clan was not as numerous as the sons of Judah.

28They lived in Beer Sheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,

29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. These were their towns until the reign of David.

32Their settlements also included Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan – five towns.

33They also lived in all the settlements that surrounded these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements; they kept genealogical records.

34Their clan leaders were: Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,

35Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (son of Seraiah, son of Asiel),

36Eleoenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

37Ziza son of Shipi (son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah).

38These who are named above were the leaders of their clans. Their extended families increased greatly in numbers.

39They went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, looking for pasture for their sheep.

40They found fertile and rich pasture; the land was very broad, undisturbed and peaceful. Indeed some Hamites had been living there prior to that.

41The men whose names are listed came during the time of King Hezekiah of Judah and attacked the Hamites’ settlements, as well as the Meunites they discovered there, and they wiped them out to this very day. They dispossessed them, for they found pasture for their sheep there.

42Five hundred men of Simeon, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to the hill country of Seir

43and defeated the rest of the Amalekite refugees; they live there to this very day.
