3 Hazar-shual (jackal village), Balah (waxed old), Ezem (bone),

4 Eltolad (God's generations), Bethul (dweller in God), Hormah (destruction),

5 Ziklag (winding), Beth-marcaboth (house of the chariots), Hazar-susah (horse village),

6 Beth-lebaoth (house of lionesses), and Sharuhen (refuge of grace)—thirteen cities, along with their villages.

7 Ain (spring), Rimmon (pomegranate), Ether (abundant), and Ashan (smoke)—four cities, along with their villages,

8 and all the villages surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer (mistress of the well) (Ramah (hill) of the Negev (southland)). This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Simeon (heard).

9 The inheritance of the Simeonites (heard) was taken from the territory of Judah (praised), because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.
