Commentators explain that this verse highlights the historical decline of the tribe of Simeon. Unlike the flourishing tribe of Judah, Simeon's numbers dwindled over time. One scholar connects this to the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy in Genesis 49:7, where Jacob foretold that Simeon would be scattered and divided within Israel.
