Descendants of Simeon.1 Chronicles 4:24-43
The History of the Covenant
INTRODUCTION
The books of Kings and Chronicles are often regarded as much alike, but there are marked differences between them. The books of Kings present mainly political annals from the time of Solomon to the fall of Jerusalem. The northern and southern kingdoms receive equal attention. The books of Chronicles cover a much longer period, longer indeed than that surveyed by any other portion of Scripture. They are a summary of religious history from the creation of the world down to the time when they were written, subsequent to the Captivity. From the time of the division of the kingdom the history of Judah only is recorded, the writer’s purpose excluding any account of apostate Israel.
The books are drawn from a great variety of sources, many of which are named in the text. Though it is impossible to determine the author with certainty, probability strongly favors Ezra.
I. THE GENEALOGIES OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL, I Chronicles 1-9
DESCENDANTS OF SIMEON.
The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;
Shallum was Shaul’s son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
The sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, neither did all their family multiply like the sons of Judah.
They lived at Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,
Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.
These were their villages: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan–five cities–
and all their villages that were around these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they have their genealogical record.
Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah,
Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,
also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,
Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;
these mentioned by name were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses increased greatly [so they needed more land].
So they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
They found rich, good pasture, and the [cleared] land was wide, quiet, and peaceful; for those who had lived there previously came from Ham [and had left it a better place for those who came after them].
These, registered by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and they attacked their tents and the Meunites (foreigners) who were found there, and utterly destroyed them to this day; and they settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
From 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 leaders.
They destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and they have lived there to this day (the date of this writing).
