1 Chronicles 4:24-43 ▼

24 The sonnes of Simeon were: Nemuel, Iamin, Iarib, Zerah, and Saul:

25 Whose sonne was Sallum, and the sonne of him was Mibsam, & his sonne was Misma,

26 And the sonne of Misma was Hamuel, and his sonne was Zachur, & the sonne of him was Semehi.

27 Semehi had sixteene sonnes and sixe daughters: But his brethren had not many children, neither was all the kinred of them like to the children of Iuda in multitude.

28 And they dwelt at Beerseba, Molada, and at Hazar Sual,

29 At Bilha, at Ezem, and at Tholad,

30 At Bathuel, at Horma, & at Ziklag,

31 At Bethmarcaboth, Hazer, Susim, at Bethbirei, & at Saaraim: These were their cities vnto the raigne of Dauid.

32 And their villages were: Etan, and Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, & Asan, fiue townes.

33 And all their villages that were round about the same cities, vnto Baal. This is the habitation of them, and their genealogie:

34 Mosobab, and Iamlech, and Iosa the sonne of Amasia,

35 And Ioel, and Iehu the sonne of Iosibi, the sonne of Saraia, the sonne of Asiel,

36 And Elioenai, and Iaakoba, Isohaia, and Asaiah, Adiel, Ismiel, and Benaia,

37 And Ziza the sonne of Siphi, the sonne of Allon, the sonne of Iedaia, the sonne of Zimri, the sonne of Semaia.

38 These are famous captaynes in their kinredes, setting vp greatly the house of their fathers.

39 And they went to the entring in of Gedor, euen vnto the eastsyde of the valley, to seke pasture for their sheepe:

40 And they founde fat pasture and good, and a wide lande, quiete and fruitefull: for they of Ham had dwelt there before.

41 And these now afore written by name, came in the dayes of Hezekia king of Iuda, and smote the tentes of them, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them vtterly vnto this day, and dwelt in their roomes: because ther was pasture there for their sheepe.

42 And some of the children of Simeon went to mount Seir, euen fiue hundred men, hauing for their captaynes, Phelathia, Nearia, Raphaia, and Uzziel, the sonnes of Isi:

43 And smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and they dwelt there vnto this day.
