42 Poi alcuni di essi, cinquecento uomini dei figli di Simeone, si recarono a monte Seir con a capo Pelatiah, Neariah, Refaiah e Uzziel figli di Isci

43 Quindi essi uccisero il rimanente degli Amalekiti che era sopravvissuto e hanno abitato fino al giorno d'oggi.

and Jahath became the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the families of the Zorathites.
These were the [b]sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi.
Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem.

The sons of Helah were Zereth, [c]Izhar, and Ethnan.
Koz became the father of Anub and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.
Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.”
10 Then Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God brought about what he asked.

These are the men of Recah.
13 Now the sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah.
And the sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai.
14 Meonothai became the father of Ophrah,
and Seraiah became the father of Joab the father of [e]Ge-harashim, for they were craftsmen.
15 The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh were Iru, Elah, and Naam;

Sons of Simeon

24 The sons of Simeon were [l]Nemuel and Jamin, [m]Jarib, [n]Zerah, Shaul;
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
26 The sons of Mishma were Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.

27 Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family multiply like the sons of Judah. 28 They lived at Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar-shual, 29 at Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim.

37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;
38 these, who came into the record by name, were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses increased greatly.

39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich and good pasture, and (B)the land was broad and quiet and peaceful; for those who lived there formerly were Hamites. 41 (C)And these, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and struck down their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and devoted them to destruction to this day, and lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. 42 From them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to (D)Mount Seir, with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their chiefs. 43 (E)They struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have lived there to this day.
