Joshua 19:1-9

The Inheritance for Simeon

1The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the people of Simeon, according to their clans, aand their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the people of Judah. 2 bAnd they had for their inheritance Beersheba, Sheba, Moladah, 3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhenthirteen cities with their villages; 7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashanfour cities with their villages, 8together with all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Simeon according to their clans. 9 cThe inheritance of the people of Simeon formed part of the territory of the people of Judah. Because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them, the people of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.
