Commentators explain that the names listed, including Meshobab and Jamlech, are not just a random genealogy. They were prominent leaders, described as 'princes' or 'emirs,' from the tribe of Simeon. Scholars note these men were famous for their courage and lived during the reign of King Hezekiah (around 710 B.C.), leading a significant expedition for their tribe, even though they are not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible.
