1 Chronicles 4:24-42

24The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamim, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

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

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

27Now Shimei had 16 sons and six daughters. But his brothers did not have many sons, so their family did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.

28They dwelt 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,

32together with their villages, Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen and Ashan—five in all,

33along with all the villages that surrounded these towns as far as Baal. These were their habitations. Registered in their genealogical records were:

34Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah,

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

36Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshoaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

37and Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah—

38these mentioned by name were leaders in their families, and their clans increased greatly.

39Now they went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

40They found rich and good pasture, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful. The former inhabitants were Hamites.

41Now those whose names are recorded came during the days of King Hezekiah of Judah. They attacked the encampments of the Hamites, as well as the Meunim who were found there, and utterly wiped them out to this very day. They settled in their place because there was pasture there for their flocks.

42About 500 of them from the descendants of Simeon, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir
