Shimon is often associated with the tribe of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Simeon was initially allocated land within the territory of Judah, as seen in <a href="/joshua/19.htm">Joshua 19:1-9</a>. This geographical placement often led to the tribe being absorbed into Judah over time. The names listed here—Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon—are not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, suggesting they may have been lesser-known figures or families within the tribe. The name Amnon is also associated with a son of King David, who had a tragic story involving his sister Tamar (2 Samuel 13). However, this Amnon is not the same individual, highlighting the commonality of certain names in ancient Israel.<p><b>The descendants of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth.</b><br>Ishi is a name that appears in several genealogies in the Old Testament, often indicating a head of a family or clan. The name means "my salvation" or "he saves," which can be seen as a reflection of the hope and reliance on God for deliverance. Zoheth and Ben-zoheth are unique to this passage, with no further biblical records detailing their lives or contributions. The prefix "Ben-" means "son of," indicating that Ben-zoheth is likely a direct descendant of Zoheth. This genealogical record serves to preserve the lineage and heritage of the tribe, emphasizing the importance of family and ancestry in Israelite culture. The listing of these names, though brief, contributes to the broader tapestry of Israel's history and the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham regarding his descendants.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/shimon.htm">Shimon</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Shimon is listed as the father of several sons.

His name means "salvation" or "deliverance" in Hebrew, which can be seen as a reflection of God's saving power.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/z/zoheth_and_ben-zoheth.htm">Zoheth and Ben-zoheth</a></b><br>Descendants of Ishi, their inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the continuity of the family line.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_heritage.htm">The Importance of Heritage</a></b><br>The genealogies in Chronicles remind us of the significance of our spiritual heritage.

Also the Septuagint for Vulgate, instead of counting Ben-hanan as the name of a third son, translate it, as of Rinnah "son of Hanan." Ishi; not to be confused with ch. 2:31, son of Appaim.
