1 Chronicles 4:41-43
New English Translation
41 The men whose names are listed came during the time of King Hezekiah of Judah and attacked the Hamites’ settlements,[a] as well as the Meunites they discovered there, and they wiped them out, as can be seen to this very day. They dispossessed them,[b] for they found pasture for their sheep there. 42 Five hundred men of Simeon, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to the hill country of Seir 43 and defeated the rest of the Amalekite refugees;[c] they live there to this very day.

New King James Version
41 These recorded by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and they (A)attacked[a] their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and (B)utterly destroyed them, as it is to this day. So they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks there. 42 Now some of them, five hundred men of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, having as their captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 43 And they [b]defeated (C)the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have dwelt there to this day.
