Historically, Simeon's inheritance was within the territory of Judah, as described in <a href="/joshua/19.htm">Joshua 19:1-9</a>. This positioning often led to the tribe being absorbed into Judah, which may explain the limited mention of Simeon in later biblical narratives. The tribe's history is marked by a decline in prominence, possibly due to their actions in <a href="/genesis/34.htm">Genesis 34</a>, where Simeon and Levi avenged their sister Dinah, leading to Jacob's rebuke in <a href="/genesis/49-5.htm">Genesis 49:5-7</a>.<p><b>Nemuel:</b><br>Nemuel is also known as Jemuel in <a href="/genesis/46-10.htm">Genesis 46:10</a> and <a href="/exodus/6-15.htm">Exodus 6:15</a>. The variation in names is not uncommon in ancient texts, reflecting different transliterations or traditions. Nemuel's lineage is part of the genealogical records that emphasize the continuity and fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. His mention here underscores the importance of family lines in maintaining tribal identity and heritage.<p><b>Jamin:</b><br>Jamin is another son of Simeon, and his name appears in the genealogical lists in <a href="/genesis/46-10.htm">Genesis 46:10</a> and <a href="/exodus/6-15.htm">Exodus 6:15</a>. The name Jamin means "right hand" or "south," which could indicate a position of favor or geographical orientation. The inclusion of Jamin in these records highlights the preservation of tribal history and the importance of each family within the broader narrative of Israel.<p><b>Jarib:</b><br>Jarib is less frequently mentioned in the biblical text, and there is some debate among scholars about his identity. In some translations, Jarib is referred to as Jachin, which may indicate a scribal variation or a different individual. The name Jarib means "he contends" or "he will plead," suggesting a role of advocacy or leadership within the tribe. This reflects the broader theme of intercession and leadership seen throughout the biblical narrative.<p><b>Zerah:</b><br>Zerah, also spelled Zohar in some texts, is another son of Simeon. The name Zerah means "rising" or "dawning," which can symbolize hope or new beginnings. Zerah's inclusion in the genealogical record serves as a reminder of the ongoing fulfillment of God's covenant promises, as each generation plays a role in the unfolding of divine history.<p><b>Shaul:</b><br>Shaul is noted as the son of a Canaanite woman in <a href="/genesis/46-10.htm">Genesis 46:10</a>, which is significant given the Israelites' later prohibitions against intermarriage with Canaanites. This detail highlights the complex interactions between the Israelites and surrounding peoples. Shaul's presence in the genealogy underscores the theme of God's grace and the inclusion of diverse backgrounds within His covenant community.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/simeon.htm">Simeon</a></b><br>The second son of Jacob and Leah, Simeon is one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Genesis and Exodus name six sons; Numbers agrees with the Chronicles in naming five, the Ohad of Genesis and Exodus being omitted. In place of our Jarib Numbers has Jachin; the other names are the same. Genesis and Exodus read Jemuel and Zohar for Nemuel and Zerah. <a href="/exodus/6-15.htm" title="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.">Exodus 6:15</a> calls Shaul "son of a Canaanitess."

The other clans are not further noticed by this genealogy. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 24-27.</span> - The second of the twelve tribes is now taken, and occupies but small space as compared with Judah preceding, or Levi and Benjamin when their turn comes. The comparison of the enumeration of the sons of Simeon here with that in <a href="/genesis/46-10.htm">Genesis 46:10</a>, <a href="/exodus/6-15.htm">Exodus 6:15</a>, is helpful in detaching the idea that the compiler of Chronicles copied direct from Genesis and Exodus, or that he depended exclusively on identical sources of information. That comparison shows six names in both of those passages for only five here, and it shows also difference in three of the names, viz. Jemuel, Zohar, and Jachin, for Nemuel, Zeta, and Jarib. On the other hand, the list of <a href="/numbers/26-12.htm">Numbers 26:12</a> is in exact agreement with our list here (the omission of Ohad in both being sufficiently accounted for by one and the same reason), with the exception of Jarib here for Jachin still there; and this solitary difference may justly be suspected to be nothing but an early corruption of <span class="accented">resh</span> for <span class="accented">caph</span> and <span class="accented">beth</span> for <span class="accented">nun</span> (see Kennicott, 'Diss.,' 1:178; Barrington's 'Genealogies,' 1:55). Ver. 25 contains three descents from one of these - Shaul. Of Shallum, the first, it may be noted that there are fourteen others of the same name in the Old Testament; and of Mibsam and Mishma (whom some call brothers, surely in error), that there were others of the same name (and certainly given as brothers), viz. the sons of Ishmael (<a href="/genesis/25-13.htm">Genesis 25:13</a>; ch. 1:29). Ver. 26 adds apparently another three descents, viz. from Mishma. Of the first-named of these, Hamuel, it may be noted that the name appears in many Hebrew manuscripts as <span class="accented">Chammuel</span>; of the second-named, Zacchur, that six others of the same name (though the Authorized Version gives them Zaccur) are found in Numbers, the First Book of Chronicles, and Nehemiah; while on the third, Shimei (of which name the Old Testament contains fifteen others), our attention is especially detained as father of sixteen sons and six daughters, though it is observed that his brethren (query <span class="accented">Hammuel</span> and <span class="accented">Zacchur</span>) had not large families. The smallness of the whole tribe relatively to Judah, was only saved from being smaller by him. With this agrees the census of <a href="/numbers/1-23.htm">Numbers 1:23, 27</a>; <a href="/numbers/2-4.htm">Numbers 2:4, 13</a>; <a href="/numbers/26-14.htm">Numbers 26:14</a>. It is possible that this Shimei is the same with Shemaiah of ver. 37. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The descendants</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּנֵ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(bə·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Simeon:</span><br /><span class="heb">שִׁמְע֑וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(šim·‘ō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8095.htm">Strong's 8095: </a> </span><span class="str2">Simeon -- a son of Jacob, also his tribe, also an Israelite with a foreign wife</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Nemuel,</span><br /><span class="heb">נְמוּאֵ֣ל</span> <span class="translit">(nə·mū·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5241.htm">Strong's 5241: </a> </span><span class="str2">Nemuel -- two Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jamin,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיָמִ֔ין</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yā·mîn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3226.htm">Strong's 3226: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jamin -- three Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jarib,</span><br /><span class="heb">יָרִ֖יב</span> <span class="translit">(yā·rîḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3402.htm">Strong's 3402: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jarib -- 'He contends', an Israelite name</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Zerah,</span><br /><span class="heb">זֶ֥רַח</span> <span class="translit">(ze·raḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2226.htm">Strong's 2226: </a> </span><span class="str2">Zerah -- three Israelites, also an Edomite, also an Ethiopian</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and Shaul.</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁאֽוּל׃</span> <span class="translit">(šā·’ūl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7586.htm">Strong's 7586: </a> </span><span class="str2">Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelites</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">1 Chronicles 4:24 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/4-24.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 4:24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel and Jamin (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/4-23.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 4:23"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 4:23" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/4-25.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 4:25"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 4:25" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
