They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.

37 e Ziza, figliuolo di Sifi, figliuolo di Allon, figliuolo di Iedaia, figliuolo di Simri, figliuolo di Semaia;
38 costoro [furono] quelli ch'[erano] famosi, capi nelle lor famiglie; e le case loro paterne crebbero in grandissimo numero.
39 Laonde andarono dall'entrata di Ghedor, fino alla parte orientale della valle, per cercar paschi per i lor bestiami.
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
40 E trovarono de' paschi grassi e buoni, ed un paese largo, quieto e felice; perciocchè quelli che vi abitavano prima [eran de' discendenti] di Cam.
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 Costoro adunque, che sono stati descritti per i nomi loro, vennero al tempo di Ezechia, re di Giuda, e percossero le tende di coloro, e gli abitacoli che vi furono ritrovati; e li distrussero a modo dell'interdetto; e [così son restati] fino a questo giorno, ed abitarono in luogo loro; perciocchè quivi [erano] paschi per le lor gregge.
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 Oltre a ciò, cinquecent'uomini d'infra loro, de' figliuoli di Simeone, avendo per lor capi Pelatia, e Nearia, e Refaia, ed Uzziel, figliuoli d'Isi, andarono al monte di Seir.
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 E percossero il rimanente degli scampati d'infra gli Amalechiti; e sono abitati quivi infino a questo giorno.
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].
