10 Jabets invocò il DIO d'Israele, dicendo: «Oh, se tu mi benedicessi e allargassi i miei confini e la tua mano fosse con me e mi preservassi dal male sí che io non abbia a soffrire!». E DIO gli concesse ciò che aveva chiesto.

26 I figli di Mishma furono suo figlio Hammuel, il cui figlio fu Zakkur, il cui figlio fu Scimei.

33 e tutti i villaggi che erano attorno a queste città, fino a Baal. Queste furono le loro dimore, ed essi conservarono la loro genealogia:
34 Meshobab, Jamlek, Joshah, figlio di Amatsiah,
35 Joel e Jehu, figlio di Joscibiah, figlio di Seraiah figlio, di Asiel,
36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel e Benaiah,
37 Ziza, figlio di Scifi, figlio di Allon, figlio di Jedaiah, figlio di Scimri, figlio di Scemaiah.
38 Questi, menzionati per nome, erano, principi nelle loro famiglie, e le loro case paterne aumentarono grandemente.
39 Andarono verso l'ingresso di Ghedor fino a ovest della valle in cerca di pascoli per le loro greggi.
40 Trovarono pascoli pingui e buoni, e il paese era vasto, quieto e tranquillo, perché prima vi abitavano i discendenti di Cam.
41 Quelli indicati per nome, al tempo di Ezechia, re di Giuda, vennero e attaccarono le loro tende e i Meuniti che si trovavano là e li votarono allo sterminio; cosí è rimasto fino al giorno d'oggi quindi si stabilirono al loro posto, perché là c'erano pascoli per le loro greggi.
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.

Aceste lucruri sunt vechi. 23 Ei erau olari şi locuiau în livezi şi în lunci; locuiau acolo lângă împărat şi lucrau pentru el.
Urmaşii lui Simeon
24 Fiii lui Simeon: Nemuel, Iamin, Iarib, Zerah, Saul. 25 Fiul lui Saul: Şalum, Mibsam, fiul său; Mişma, fiul său. 26 Fiii lui Mişma: Hamuel, fiul său. Zacur, fiul său; Şimei, fiul său. 27 Şimei a avut şaisprezece fii şi şase fiice. Fraţii săi n-au avut mulţi fii. Şi toate familiile lor nu s-au înmulţit atât cât fiii lui Iuda. 28 Ei locuiau la Beer-Şeba(H), la Molada, la Haţar-Şual, 29 la Bilha, la Eţem, la Tolad, 30 la Betuel, la Horma, la Ţiclag, 31 la Bet-Marcabot, la Haţar-Susim, la Bet-Birei şi la Şaaraim. Acestea au fost cetăţile lor până la domnia lui David 32 şi satele lor. Ei mai aveau şi Etam, Ain, Rimon, Tochen şi Aşan, cinci cetăţi, 33 şi toate satele din împrejurimile acestor cetăţi, până la Baal. Iată locuinţele lor şi spiţa neamului lor: 34 Meşobab; Iamlec; Ioşa, fiul lui Amaţia; 35 Ioel; Iehu, fiul lui Ioşibia, fiul lui Seraia, fiul lui Asiel; 36 Elioenai; Iaacoba; Ieşohaia; Asaia; Adiel; Iesimiel; Benaia; 37 Ziza, fiul lui Şifei, fiul lui Alon, fiul lui Iedaia, fiul lui Şimri, fiul lui Şemaia. 38 Aceştia, numiţi pe nume, erau domni în familiile lor, şi casele lor părinteşti au crescut mult. 39 Ei s-au dus înspre Ghedor până la răsăritul văii, să caute păşune pentru turmele lor. 40 Au găsit păşuni grase şi bune şi o ţară întinsă, liniştită şi paşnică, fiindcă cei ce o locuiau mai înainte se pogorau din Ham. 41 Oamenii aceştia, scrişi pe nume, au venit pe vremea lui Ezechia, împăratul lui Iuda; au sfărâmat(I) corturile lor şi pe maoniţi, care se aflau acolo, i-au nimicit cu desăvârşire până în ziua de azi şi s-au aşezat în locul lor, căci acolo erau păşuni pentru turmele lor. 42 Şi dintre fiii lui Simeon s-au dus la muntele Seir în număr de cinci sute de oameni. Aveau în frunte pe Pelatia, Nearia, Refaia şi Uziel, fiii lui Işei. 43 Au bătut rămăşiţa(J) de amaleciţi care scăpase cu viaţă şi s-au aşezat acolo până în ziua de azi.

41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites(Y) who were there and completely destroyed[h] them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. 42 And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir.(Z) 43 They killed the remaining Amalekites(AA) who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
