23 The members of these clans were the potters who lived in the towns of Netaim and Gederah and worked for the king.
24 Simeon had five sons: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
25 The descendants of Shaul included his son Shallum, his grandson Mibsam, and his great-grandson Mishma.
26 The descendants of Mishma included his son Hammuel, his grandson Zaccur, and his great-grandson Shimei.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. But his brothers did not have as many children, so the Simeon tribe was smaller than the Judah tribe.
28-31 Before David became king, the people of the Simeon tribe lived in the following towns: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual, Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, Beth-Marcaboth, Hazarsusim, Bethbiri, and Shaaraim.
32 They also lived in the five villages of Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan,
