This was their territory, and these names are listed in their genealogical records.H2691H5439H5892H1168H4186H3187 34Other descendants of Simeon included Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,H4877H3230H3144H1121H558 35Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel,H3100H3058H1121H3143H1121H8304H1121H6221 36Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,H454H3291H3439H6222H5717H3450H1141 37and Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah.H2124H1121H8230H1121H438H1121H3042H1121H8113H1121H8098 38These were the names of some of the leaders of Simeon's wealthy clans. Their families grew,H935H8034H5387H4940H1004H1H6555H7230 39and they traveled to the region of Gerar, in the east part of the valley, seeking pastureland for their flocks.H3212H3996H1446H4217H1516H1245H4829H6629 40They found lush pastures there, and the land was quiet and peaceful. Some of Ham's descendants had been living in that region.H4672H8082H4829H2896H776H7342H3027H8252H7961H2526H3427H6440 41But during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, these leaders of Simeon invaded the region and completely destroyed the homes of the descendants of Ham and of the Meunites. No trace of them remains today. They killed everyone who lived there and took the land for themselves, because they wanted its good pastureland for their flocks.H3789H8034H935H3117H3169H4428H3063H5221H168H4583H4672H2763H3117H3427H4829H6629 42Five hundred of these invaders from the tribe of Simeon went to Mount Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel—all sons of Ishi.H1121H8095H2568H3967H582H1980H2022H8165H7218H6410H5294H7509H5816H1121H3469 43They destroyed the few Amalekites who had survived, and they have lived there ever since.H5221H7611H6002H6413H3427H3117
