1 Chronicles 4:25-35

25 Shaul's son was Shallum. Shallum's son was Mibsam. Mibsam's son was Mishma.

26 Mishma's son was Hammuel. Hammuel's son was Zaccur. Zaccur's son was Shimei.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so there were not as many people in their family group as there were in Judah.

28 Shimei's children lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual,

29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in these cities until David became king.

32 The five villages near these cities were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.

33 There were also other villages as far away as Baalath. This is where they lived. And they wrote the history of their family.
