29Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
31Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their towns until David became king.
32Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five towns—
33as well as all their villages around these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept their own family records:

39They went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to find pasture for their flocks.
40They found fertile pasture, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful; the people of Ham used to live there.
41These whose names were recorded, however, came in the days of Judah’s King Hezekiah, attacked their tents and the Meunim found there, and completely destroyed them, as can be seen today. They settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.[#4.41 Qere; Kethib Meinim]
42Some of them, five hundred Simeonites, went to Mount Seir, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, Ishi’s sons.
43They struck down those who were left of the Amalekites and have lived there ever since.
