4 24 The sons of Simeon: Nem'uel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Sha'ul; 4 25 Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son. 4 26 The sons of Mishma: Ham'mu-el his son, Zac'cur his son, Shim'e-i his son. 4 27 Shim'e-i had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers had not many children, nor did all their family multiply like the men of Judah. 4 28 They dwelt in Beer-sheba, Mola'dah, Ha'zar-shu'al, 4 29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 4 30 Bethu'el, Hormah, Ziklag, 4 31 Beth-mar'caboth, Ha'zar-su'sim, Beth-biri, and Sha-ara'im. These were their cities until David reigned. 4 32 And their villages were Etam, A'in, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, 4 33 along with all their villages which were round about these cities as far as Ba'al. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record.
