This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. 9 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the middle of their inheritance.

Simeon’s Allocation
19 The second lottery went to the tribe of Simeon according to its families. Its inheritance was enclosed within the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. 2 Its inheritance included Beer-sheba (also known as[a] Shebah), Moladah, 3 Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6 Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen, for a total of thirteen towns and villages. 7 Also included were[b] Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan, for a total of four towns and villages. 8 Also included were[c] all the surrounding villages as far as Baalath-beer, in Ramah of the Negev.[d] This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon, according to its families. 9 The inheritance of the tribe of Simeon was contained in part of the territory of Judah; that is, because the portion allotted to the tribe of Judah was large enough for both tribes, the tribe of Simeon obtained an inheritance within that of Judah.[e]
