西缅的子孙

24 西缅的儿子是尼母利、雅悯、雅立、谢拉和扫罗。 25 扫罗的儿子是沙龙;沙龙的儿子是米比衫;米比衫的儿子是米施玛。 26 米施玛的子孙如下:米施玛的儿子是哈母利;哈母利的儿子是撒刻;撒刻的儿子是示每。 27 示每有十六个儿子,六个女儿;他兄弟们的儿女却不多;他们各家的儿女,都不如犹大族的子孙那样多。 28 他们住在别是巴、摩拉大、哈萨.书亚、 29 辟拉、以森、陀腊、 30 彼土利、何珥玛、洗革拉、 31 伯.玛嘉博、哈萨.苏撒、伯.比利和沙拉音。直到大卫王的时代,这些都是他们的城市, 32 还有附近的村庄和以坦、亚因、临门、陀健和亚珊等五座城, 33 以及这些城周围所有的村庄,直到巴力。这是他们居住的地方,他们也有自己的族谱。 34 还有米所巴、雅米勒、亚玛谢的儿子约沙、 35 约珥、约示比的儿子耶户;约示比是西莱雅的儿子,西莱雅是亚薛的儿子。 36 还有以利约乃、雅哥巴、约朔海、亚帅雅、亚底业、耶西篾和比拿雅。 37 示非的儿子是细撒;示非是亚龙的儿子,亚龙是耶大雅的儿子,耶大雅是申利的儿子;申利是示玛雅的儿子。 38 以上所记的名字,都是各家族的领袖;他们的家族都很兴旺。 39 他们往基多的关口去,直到山谷的东面,为自己的羊群寻找草场。 40 他们找到了一块肥美的草场;那地十分宽阔,又清静、又安宁;从前住在那里的是含族的人。 41 以上这些有名字记录的人,在犹大王希西家的日子,前来攻击含族人的帐棚和那里所有的米乌尼人,把他们完全毁灭,直到今日,并且住在他们的地方,因为那里有草场,可以牧放他们的羊群。 42 在西缅人中有五百人往西珥山去,他们的首领是以示的儿子毘拉提、尼利雅、利法雅和乌薛。 43 他们击杀了逃脱余生的亚玛力人,就住在那里,直到今日。

May your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I might be free from grief.” God granted what he requested.

11 Chelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

26 The descendants of Mishma were Hammuel, his son, Zaccur, his son, and Shimei, his son.

Some Hamites[c] had lived there from ancient times.

41 The men whose names are written here arrived during the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. They attacked those living there as well as the Meunites who were found there. They wiped them out, as is still true today. They dwelt in their place for there were pastures for their flocks there.

42 About five hundred of the Simeonites invaded the hill country of Seir led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 43 They killed the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there up to the present.
