1 Chronicles 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:24

The sons of Simeon
The account of whom, next to the tribe of Judah, is given before Reuben, because its inheritance lay in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 19:1 ) his sons were Nemuel, the same with Jemuel, ( Genesis 46:10 )

and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;
who, in the place referred to, is said to be the son of a Canaanitish woman; and Jarib and Zerah are the same with Jachin and Zohar there: and Obed is here omitted, it may be because he died without issue; see ( Numbers 26:12 Numbers 26:13 ) .

22 Jokim and the people who lived in the town of Cozeba; and Joash and Saraph, who married Moabite women and then settled in Bethlehem. (These traditions are very old.)

23 They were potters in the service of the king and lived in the towns of Netaim and Gederah.

24 Simeon had five sons: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.

25 Shaul's son was Shallum, his grandson was Mibsam, and his great-grandson was Mishma.

26 Then from Mishma the line descended through Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
