Allotment for Simeon^(A)

19 The second lot came out for the tribe of Simeon according to its clans. Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah.^(B) ²It included:

Beersheba^(C) (or Sheba),^[a] Moladah,^(D) ³Hazar Shual,^(E) Balah, Ezem,^(F) ⁴Eltolad,^(G) Bethul, Hormah,^(H) ⁵Ziklag,^(I) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susah, ⁶Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen—thirteen towns and their villages;

⁷Ain, Rimmon,^(J) Ether and Ashan^(K)—four towns and their villages— ⁸and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev).^(L)

This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans. ⁹The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah,^(M) because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.^(N)
