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 Et il y en eut, des fils de Siméon, qui se portèrent à la montagne de Séir au nombre de cinq cents hommes, et Platia et Nearia et Rephaïa et Uzziel, fils de Jiseï, étaient à leur tête,
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].
