and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Zobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.

Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

BSB

The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.

BSB

Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.

BSB

They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,

BSB

Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

BSB

Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.

BSB

And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five towns—

BSB

and all their surrounding villages as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record:

BSB

Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,

BSB

Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (son of Seraiah, son of Asiel),

BSB

Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

BSB

and Ziza son of Shiphi (son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah).

BSB

These men listed by name were the leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly,

BSB

and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.

BSB

There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.

BSB

These who were noted by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites and Meunites there in their dwellings, devoting them to destruction even to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.

BSB

And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir

BSB

and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.
