And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.

Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.

And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.

The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:

Of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.

These are the sons of Israel; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun,

The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.

And they dwelt at Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:

And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.

And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.

And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
