1 Chr 4:34

4:34 Meshobab. The writer lists some prominent leaders from Simeon (4:34–38) and then describes how they expanded their territories in several directions (4:39–43). Neh. 11:26–29 indicates that some of these cities (Moladah, Hazar-shual, Beersheba, Ziklag, and En-rimmon) were resettled after the Babylonian exile. The point is to tell the readers how far the Promised Land extends.
