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 [Niektórzy] z nich, pięciuset mężczyzn spośród synów Symeona, udali się na górę Seir, a ich przywódcami byli: Pelatiasz, Neariasz, Refajasz i Uzziel, synowie Jisziego.
