Their families greatly increased their numbers. 39They spread out all the way to the edge of Gedor east of the valley. They looked for grasslands for their flocks. 40They found grasslands that were rich and good. The land had plenty of room. It was peaceful and quiet. Some of the people of Ham had lived there before.
41The men whose names are listed lived at the time when Hezekiah was king of Judah. They came and attacked the Hamites in their homes. They also attacked the Meunites who were there. And they completely destroyed them. What happened to them is clear even to this day. The men of Simeon made their homes where the Meunites had lived. That’s because in that place there were enough grasslands for their flocks. 42Five hundred of these men came into the hill country of Seir and attacked it. They were led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel. These four men were the sons of Ishi. 43They killed the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they still live there to this day.

A descendência de Simeão
(Js 19.2-9)
24Os filhos de Simeão foram:
Nemuel, Jamim, Jaribe, Zera e Saul.
25O filho de Saul chamou-se Salum, o seu neto Mibsão e o seu bisneto Misma.
26Os filhos de Misma incluíam
Hamuel, pai de Zacur e avô de Simei.
27Simei teve dezasseis filhos e seis filhas; no entanto, nenhum dos seus irmãos teve grandes famílias; todos eles tiveram poucos filhos; menos do que era normal em Judá. 28Habitaram em Berseba, em Molada, em Hazar-Sual, 29em Bila, em Ezem, em Tolade, 30em Betuel, em Horma, em Ziclague, 31em Bete-Marcabote, em Hazar-Susim, em Bete-Biri e em Saaraim. Estas foram as povoações que estiveram sob o seu controlo até ao tempo de David. 32Os descendentes habitaram também perto ou nas seguintes localidades: Etã, Aim, Rimom, Toquem e Asã. 33Algumas não ficavam muito longe de Baal. Tudo isto está relatado nas suas genealogias.
34-39Estes são os nomes de alguns dos príncipes das prósperas famílias que peregrinaram até ao oriente do vale de Gedor, procurando melhores pastos para o seu gado:
Mesobabe, Jamleque,
Josa, filho de Amazias, Joel,
Jeú, filho de Jossibias,
Elioenai, Jaacobá, Jesoaías,
Asaías, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaia,
Ziza, filho de Sifi, filho de Alom, filho de Jedaías, filho de Simri, filho de Semaías.
40Acharam boas pastagens, terra espaçosa e fértil. Mas aquela zona pertencia aos descendentes de Cam.
41Por isso, durante o reinado de Ezequias, rei de Judá, esses príncipes, atrás nomeados, invadiram a terra e destruíram as tendas e as habitações dos meunitas; mataram os habitantes da terra e ali se estabeleceram. 42Mais tarde, 500 destes invasores da tribo de Simeão foram para as montanhas de Seir. Os seus líderes eram Pelatias, Nearias, Refaías e Uziel, todos filhos de Isi. 43Destruíram os poucos amalequitas que ainda restavam e ficaram a viver ali.
