Sons of Simeon



Jos 19:2-10



24 (Ge 46:10) The sons of Simeon were

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.

26 The sons of Mishma were

Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son, and Shimei his son.

27 (Nu 2:4; 2:13) Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters,

but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family

multiply as much as the sons of Judah.

28 (Jos 19:2-3) Now they dwelt in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar Shual

29 (Jos 19:3,4) as well as in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 (Jos 19:5-6) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim.

These were their cities until the reign of David.

32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,

five cities in all,

33 (Jos 19:8) and all the villages that were around these cities

as far as Baal.

Such are their inhabited cities, and those registered to them were

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah;

35 Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;

36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah;

37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah,

the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38 These mentioned by name were leaders in their families,

and their fathers' houses increased greatly.

39 (Jos 15:58; 1Ch 4:4) They went to the entrance of Gedor,

as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks

40 (Jdg 18:7-10) There they found rich, good pasture,

and the land was wide, quiet, and peaceful;

for former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.

41 In the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, those written by name came

and attacked their tents, along with the Meunites who were found there,

and utterly destroyed them until this day. Then they dwelt there

in their place because there was pasture for their flocks there.

42 (Ge 36:8-9) Now some of them, namely five hundred men

from the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir with Pelatiah,

Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their captains.

43 (1Sa 30:17; 15:7-8) Then they struck down the rest of the Amalekites

who had escaped. So they have dwelt there until this day.



[24] The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

[25] Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.

[26] And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zachur his son, Shimei his son.

[27] And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not

many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children

of Judah.

[28] And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,

[29] And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

[30] And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

[31] And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at

Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

[32] And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan,

five cities:

[33] And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto

Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

[34] And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

[35] And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of

Asiel,

[36] And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and

Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

[37] And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the

son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

[38] These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the

house of their fathers increased greatly.

[39] And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the

valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

[40] And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet,

and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.

[41] And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,

and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and

destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because

there was pasture there for their flocks.

[42] And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to

mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah,

and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

[43] And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt

there unto this day.



1 CHRONICLES 5



Sons of Reuben



1 (Ge 29:32; 35:22) Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel

(for he was the firstborn, but since he defiled his father's bed,

his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel,

so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;

2 (Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; Ge 49:8-10 ) though Judah prevailed

over his brothers and a ruler came from him,

yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

3 (Ge 46:9; Ex 6:14; Nu 26:5-9) the sons of Reuben the firstborn

of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.

4 The sons of Joel were

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son,

5 Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 (1Ch 5:26) and Beerah his son, whom

Tiglath--Pileser the king of Assyria led into exile.

He was a leader of the Reubenites.

7 (1Ch 5:1) 7His brothers according to their families

by the registration of their generations were

Jeiel, the first, and Zechariah;

8 (Nu 32:34; 32:38) Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,

who dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.

9 (Jos 22:8-9) And he dwelt toward the east as far as the entrance

to the wilderness from the Euphrates,

for their cattle were abundant in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites,

who fell by their hand, and they dwelt in their tents over

all the eastern plains of Gilead.



[1] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the

firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was

given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to

be reckoned after the birthright.

[2] For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler;

but the birthright was Joseph's:)

[3] The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hannoch, and

Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

[4] The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

[5] Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

[6] Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away

captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

[7] And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their

generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

[8] And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt

in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:

[9] And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from

the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of

Gilead.

[10] And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by

their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of

Gilead.



Sons of Gad



11 (Jos 13:11; 13:24-28) The sons of Gad dwelt opposite

them in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.

12 Joel was the first, Shapham the second,

with Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 Their brothers of their father's house were

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber, seven in all.

14 These are the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the sonof Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai,

the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni,

was the head of their father's house.

16 (1Ch 27:29; SS 2:1) They dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns,

and in all the outlands of Sharon to the edge of their borders.

17 (2Ki 14:16; 14:28) All of them were registered by genealogy in the days

of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 (Nu 1:3) The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites,

and the half-tribe of Manasseh numbered 44760 valiant men,

men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow,

and who were skillful in battle, who went to war.

19 (Ge 25:15; 1Ch 1:31) They made war with the Hagrites, namely Jetur,

Naphish, and Nodab.

20 (2Ch 18:31; Ps 20:7-8) They were helped against them,

and the Hagrites and all who were with them were delivered into their hand,

for they cried to God in the battle, and He heard their prayer

because they trusted in Him.

21 They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels,

two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys,

and one hundred thousand men.

22 (2Ki 15:29; 17:6) So many fell slain, because the war was of God.

And they dwelt in their place until the exile.



[11] And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan

unto Salchah:

[12] Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in

Bashan.

[13] And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and

Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

[14] These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of

Jahdo, the son of Buz;

[15] Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their

fathers.

[16] And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the

suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

[17] All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of

Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

[18] The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of

valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and

skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore,

that went out to the war.

[19] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and

Nodab.

[20] And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered

into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the

battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

[21] And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of

sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men

an hundred thousand.

[22] For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they

dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
