24The Simeon family tree: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;H1121H8095H5241H3226H3402H2226H7586 25Shaul had Shallum, Shallum had Mibsam, and Mibsam had Mishma.H7967H1121H4017H1121H4927H1121 26The sons of Mishma: Hammuel had Zaccur and Zaccur had Shimei.H1121H4927H2536H1121H2139H1121H8096H1121 27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers were not nearly as prolific and never became a large family like Judah.H8096H8337H6240H1121H8337H1323H251H7227H1121H4940H7235H1121H3063 28They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,H3427H884H4137H2705 29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,H1090H6107H8434 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,H1328H2767H6860 31Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in these towns until David became king.H1024H2702H1011H8189H5892H4427H1732 32Other settlements in the vicinity were the five towns of Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,H2691H5862H5871H7417H8507H6228H2568H5892 33and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath. These were their settlements. And they kept good family records.H2691H5439H5892H1168H4186H3187 34Meshobab; Jamlech; Joshah the son of Amaziah;H4877H3230H3144H1121H558 35Joel; Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;H3100H3058H1121H3143H1121H8304H1121H6221 36Elioenai; Jaakobah; Jeshohaiah; Asaiah; Adiel; Jesimiel; Benaiah;H454H3291H3439H6222H5717H3450H1141 37and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah—H2124H1121H8230H1121H438H1121H3042H1121H8113H1121H8098 38all these were the leaders in their families. They prospered and increased in numbersH935H8034H5387H4940H1004H1H6555H7230 39so that they had to go as far as Gedor (Gerar) to the east of the valley looking for pasture for their flocks.H3212H3996H1446H4217H1516H1245H4829H6629 40And they found it—lush pasture, lots of elbow room, peaceful and quiet. Some Hamites had lived there in former times.H4672H8082H4829H2896H776H7342H3027H8252H7961H2526H3427H6440 41But the men in these family trees came when Hezekiah was king of Judah and attacked the Hamites, tearing down their tents and houses. There was nothing left of them, as you can see today. Then they moved in and took over because of the great pastureland.H3789H8034H935H3117H3169H4428H3063H5221H168H4583H4672H2763H3117H3427H4829H6629 42Five hundred of these Simeonites went on and invaded the hill country of Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.H1121H8095H2568H3967H582H1980H2022H8165H7218H6410H5294H7509H5816H1121H3469 43They killed all the escaped Amalekites who were still around. And they still live there.H5221H7611H6002H6413H3427H3117
