Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.

Shimei had 16 sons and six daughters, but none of his brothers had many children. So the descendants of Simeon never were as many as the descendants of [his younger brother] Judah.
28 Ze hadden hun woonplaatsen in Beër-Sjéba, Molada, Chasar-Sjoeal,
The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,

32 Hun dorpen waren Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tóken en Asjan: in het geheel vijf nederzettingen;
They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
33 verder al de dorpen in de omgeving van genoemde nederzettingen tot Báal toe. Dit waren hun woonplaatsen. Zij hadden hun eigen stamregister.
There were other villages where they lived, as far [southwest] as Baalath [town]. Those were the places where they lived, and their names, according to the family records.
34 Bovendien waren er nog: Mesjobab, Jamlek, Josja de zoon van Amasja,
The men in the following list were the leaders of their clans: Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah.

37 en Ziza, de zoon van Sjifi, den zoon van Allon, zoon van Jedaja, zoon van Sjimri, zoon van Sjemaja.
38 De zo juist met name genoemden waren de hoofden van hun geslachten. Hun families breidden zich zo sterk uit,
39 dat ze in de richting van Gerar trokken tot oostelijk van het dal, om weidegrond te zoeken voor hun schapen.
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
40 Inderdaad vonden ze een malse en geschikte weidegrond. Het land was ruim genoeg, vreedzaam en welvarend; want de vroegere bewoners stamden van Cham.
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 De zo juist met name genoemden deden daar tijdens de regering van koning Ezekias van Juda een inval, vernielden hun tenten, sloegen de daar aanwezige Meoenieten tot op deze dag met de ban, en vestigden zich daar in hun plaats; daar was namelijk weidegrond voor hun schapen.
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 Ook trokken er vijf honderd Simeonieten naar het Seïr-gebergte, onder aanvoering van Pelatja, Nearja, Refaja en Oezziël, zonen van Jisji.
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].
43 Ze versloegen het laatste restje van de Amalekieten, en wonen daar tot op de dag van heden.
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].
