9 And Jabez was more honourable than his

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel,

23 These were the potters, and

work.
24 The sons of Simeon were,

his son.
26 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son,
Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six
daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family

39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor,
even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40 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.
41 And these written by name came in the
days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that
were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their
rooms: because there was pasture there for their flocks.
42 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.
43 And they smote the rest of the
Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
