41Durante o reinado de Ezequias, rei de Judá, esses homens aqui alistados chegaram e atacaram os camitas e os meunitas da região e os destruíram totalmente, como até hoje se pode ver. Depois ocuparam o lugar daqueles povos, pois havia pastagens para os seus rebanhos. 42E quinhentos desses simeonitas, liderados por Pelatias, Nearias, Refaías e Uziel, filhos de Isi, invadiram as colinas de Seir. 43Eles mataram o restante dos amalequitas que tinha escapado, e ali vivem até hoje.

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.
