1 Chronicles 4:24-43

Descendants of Judah

²⁴The sons of Simeon were Nemuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul; ²⁵Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son. ²⁶The sons of Mishma were Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, and Shimei his son. ²⁷Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family increase like the sons of Judah. ²⁸They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar-shual, ²⁹in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, ³⁰Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, ³¹Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David. ³²Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, ³³and all their settlements that were around the same cities as far as Baal. These were their dwellings, and they have their genealogy.

³⁴Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, ³⁵Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, ³⁶and Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, ³⁷and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah— ³⁸these mentioned by name were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses spread out greatly. ³⁹They went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. ⁴⁰They found pasture that was rich and good, and the land was spread out on both sides, and peaceful and undisturbed; for those who lived there previously were Hamites. ⁴¹These people, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and they attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and utterly destroyed them to this day; and they lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. ⁴²From them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to Mount Seir, with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their leaders. ⁴³They destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
