Simeon’s sons: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;Shaul’s sons: his son Shallum, his son Mibsam, and his son Mishma.Mishma’s sons: his son Hammuel, his son Zaccur, and his son Shimei.Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole family did not become as numerous as the Judeans.They lived in Beer-sheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until David became king.Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan— five cities,and all their surrounding villages as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record for themselves.Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel,Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,and Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah—these mentioned by name were leaders in their families. Their ancestral houses increased greatly.They went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley to seek pasture for their flocks.They found rich, good pasture, and the land was broad, peaceful, and quiet, for some Hamites had lived there previously.These who were recorded by name came in the days of King Hezekiah of Judah, attacked the Hamites’ tents and the Meunites who were found there, and set them apart for destruction, as they are today. Then they settled in their place because there was pasture for their flocks.Now five hundred men from these sons of Simeon went with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the descendants of Ishi, as their leaders to Mount Seir.They struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped, and they still live there today.

I will disperse them throughout Jacob and scatter them throughout Israel.
