They found good pastureland with plenty of grass. The place was peaceful and quiet. Previously the descendants of [Noah’s son] Ham had lived there.
41 Og de, som ere optegnede ved Navn, kom i Ezekias, Judas Konges, Dage og nedsloge disses Telte og Boliger, som fandtes der, og ødelagde dem indtil denne Dag og toge Bolig i deres Sted, fordi der var Græsgang der for deres Smaakvæg.
But while Hezekiah was the king of Judah, the leaders of the tribe of Simeon came to Gedor and fought against the descendants of Ham and destroyed their tents. They also fought against the descendants of Meun who were living there, and they killed all of them. So now there are no descendants of Meun living there. The descendants of Simeon started to live there, because there was good pastureland there for their sheep.
42 Og af dem, nemlig af Simeons Børn, droge fem Hundrede Mænd til Seirs Bjerg; og Pelatja og Nearia og Refaja og Ussiel, Jiseis Sønner, vare deres Øverster.
Ishi’s four sons Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel led 500 other descendants of Simeon [and attacked the people who were living] in the hilly area of the Edom [region].

They killed the few descendants of Amalek who were still alive. From that time until now, the descendants of Simeon have lived in [the] Edom [region].
