Joshua 19:1-9
Christian Standard Bible
Simeon’s Inheritance
19 The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of his descendants by their clans, but their inheritance was within the inheritance given to Judah’s descendants. 2 Their inheritance included
Beer-sheba (or Sheba(A)), Moladah, 3 Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6 Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities, with their settlements; 7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities, with their settlements; 8 and all the settlements surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer (Ramah in the south[a]).
This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon’s descendants by their clans. 9 The inheritance of Simeon’s descendants was within the territory of Judah’s descendants, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large. So Simeon’s descendants received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.
