Simeon’s Tribal Lands
19:1 The second lot belonged to the tribe of Simeon by its clans .
19:2 Their assigned land included Beer Sheba , Moladah ,
19:3 Hazar Shual , Balah , Ezem ,
19:4 Eltolad , Bethul , Hormah ,
19:5 Ziklag , Beth Marcaboth , Hazar Susah ,
19:6 Beth Lebaoth , and Sharuhen – a total of thirteen cities and their towns ,
19:7 Ain , Rimmon , Ether , and Ashan – a total of four cities and their towns ,
19:8 as well as all the towns around these cities as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah of the Negev ). This was the land assigned to the tribe of Simeon by its clans .
19:9 Simeon’s assigned land was taken from Judah’s allotted portion , for Judah’s territory was too large for them ; so Simeon was assigned land within Judah.

19:10 The third lot belonged to the tribe of Zebulun by its clans . The border of their territory extended to Sarid .
19:11 Their border went up westward to Maralah and touched Dabbesheth and the valley near Jokneam .
19:12 From Sarid it turned eastward to the territory of Kisloth Tabor , extended to Daberath , and went up to Japhia .
19:13 From there it crossed eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin and extended to Rimmon , turning toward Neah .
