9 Simeon's inheritance was a part of Judah's because Judah had more land than it needed. So Simeon received its inheritance inside Judah's borders.

Joshua 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:9

Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the
inheritance of the children of Simeon
Which is the reason why no description is given of the border of their inheritance, because that is before given in the account of the lot of Judah:

for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them:
they had more cities than they could fill with people, and more land than they could cultivate; they had an hundred fourteen cities with their villages:

therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the
inheritance of them;
the one being a small tribe, and the other large, and for the reasons given; (See Gill on Joshua 19:1).

Joshua 19:9 In-Context

7 There were four other cities with their villages: Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan.

8 All the villages around these cities as far as Baalath Beer and Ramath Negev were also included. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon for its families.

9 Simeon's inheritance was a part of Judah's because Judah had more land than it needed. So Simeon received its inheritance inside Judah's borders.

10 The third lot was drawn for the families descended from Zebulun. The border of their inheritance goes as far as Sarid.

11 Toward the west the border ascends to Maralah and touches Dabbesheth and the river near Jokneam.
