1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 4:24–31

²⁴The descendants of Simeon:

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah,^l and Shaul.

²⁵The sons of Shaul:

Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.

²⁶The sons of Mishma:

Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.

²⁷Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah. ²⁸They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, ²⁹Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, ³⁰Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, ³¹Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.
