1 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the sons of Judah. 2 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba, Moladah, 3 Hazarshual, Balah, Azem, 4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Bethmarcaboth, Hazarsusah, 6 Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities and their villages; 7 Ain, Remmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities and their villages, 8 with all the villages that were round about these cities unto Baalathbeer, which is Ramath of the Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families. 9 Out of the portion of the sons of Judah was taken the inheritance of the sons of Simeon; for the part of the sons of Judah was too much for them; therefore, the sons of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of Judah.
