22 And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash,
and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and
Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things.
23 These were the potters, and those that dwelt
among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with
the king for his work.
24 The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin,
Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his
son.
26 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son,
Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters:
but his brethren had not many children, neither
did all their family multiply, like to the
children of Judah.
28 And they dwelt at Beersheba, and Moladah, and
Hazarshual,
29 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,
30 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
31 And at Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusim, and at
Bethbirei, and at Shaaraim. These were their
cities unto the reign of David.
32 And their villages were, Etam, and Ain,
Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:
33 And all their villages that were round about
the same cities, unto Baal. These were their
habitations, and their genealogy.
34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son
of Amaziah,

38 These mentioned by their names were princes in
their families: and the house of their fathers
increased greatly.
39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even
unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture
for their flocks.
40 And they found fat pasture and good, and the
land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they
of Ham had dwelt there of old.
41 And these written by name came in the days of
Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents,
and the habitations that were found there, and
destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt
in their rooms: because there was pasture there
for their flocks.
42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon,
five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for
their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and
Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that
were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
