"And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman." — Genesis 46:10 (ASV)
Simeon has six sons:
Genesis 46:10: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, Shaul.
Numbers 26:12–13: Nemuel, Jamin, Jachin, Zerah, Shaul.
1 Chronicles 4:24: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul.
Note: Ohad is omitted in the latter two lists. Jewish tradition holds that Shaul was the son of Dinah by Shechem, adopted by Simeon to preserve family honor.
