They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
33 därtill alla deras byar, som lågo runt omkring dessa städer, ända till Baal. Dessa voro deras boningsorter; och de hade sitt särskilda släktregister.
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.

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. Joshibiah was the son of Seraiah and the grandson of Asiel. Other clan leaders were Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and Ziza.

37 så ock Sisa, son till Sifei, son till Allon, son till Jedaja, son till Simri son till Semaja.
38 Dessa nu nämnda voro hövdingar i sina släkter, och deras familjer utbredde sig och blevo talrika.
39 Och de drogo fram mot Gedor, ända till östra sidan av dalen, för att söka bete för sin boskap.
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.

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 Men dessa som här hava blivit upptecknade vid namn kommo i Hiskias, Juda konungs, tid och förstörde deras tält och slogo de meiniter som funnos där och gåvo dem till spillo, så att de nu icke mer äro till, och bosatte sig i deras land; ty där fanns bete för deras boskap.
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 Och av dem, av Simeons barn, drogo fem hundra man till Seirs bergsbygd; och Pelatja, Nearja, Refaja och Ussiel, Jiseis söner, stodo i spetsen för dem.
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 Och de slogo den sista kvarlevan av amalekiterna; sedan bosatte de sig där och bo där ännu i dag. Hebr beóseb.
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].
