1Ch 4:42 | MHM | STEP | v. 42–43 : Another group of 500 Simeonites, led by four brothers, went to Mount Seir. They fought the last of the Amalekites and took their land. This fulfilled old curses against Ham and Amalek, and also the prophecy about Simeon being scattered ( I will scatter them in Israel , Genesis 49:7 ). But for Simeon, what seemed like a curse became a blessing. The families who moved to these new lands lived there for a long time and escaped the troubles that came later with captivity. Sometimes, God moves people to new places to keep them safe (1 Chronicles 4:42
