Sons of Judah

¹The sons of Judah were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.

Sons of Simeon

²⁷Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family multiply like the sons of Judah.

²⁸They lived at Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar-shual,

²⁹at 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 villages that were all around these cities as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they have their genealogy.[#4:33 In Josh 19:8, Baalath]

³⁹They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

⁴⁰They found rich and good pasture, and the land was broad and quiet and peaceful; for those who lived there formerly were Hamites.

⁴¹And these, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and struck down their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and devoted them to destruction to this day, and 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 chiefs.

⁴³They struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have lived there to this day.
