Contextual Overview

24 The sons of Shim‘on: N'mu'el, Yamin, Yariv, Zerach and Sha'ul. 25 His son was Shalum, his son was Mivsam, and his son was Mishma. 26 The descendants of Mishma: his son Hamu'el, his son Zakur, his son Shim‘i. 27 Shim‘i had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their clans did not increase like those of Y'hudah. 28 They lived at Be'er-Sheva, Moladah, Hatzar-Shu‘al, 29 Bilhah, ‘Etzem, Tolad, 30 B'tu'el, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beit-Markavot, Hatzar-Susim, Beit-Bir'i and Sha‘arayim. These were their cities until the reign of David. 32 Their villages were ‘Eitam, ‘Ayin, Rimmon, Tokhen and ‘Ashan, five cities, 33 along with all the villages surrounding these cities, as far as Ba‘al. These are the places where they lived, and they have their official genealogy.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The sons of Simeon: This genealogy differs in many particulars from those in the parallel places; probably being occasioned by the same person's having several names.

Nemuel: Genesis 46:10, Exodus 6:15, Jemuel

Jarib: Numbers 26:12-14, Jachin

Zerah: Genesis 46:10, Zohar

Reciprocal: Genesis 49:7 - I will divide

Cross-References

"No, not seven times," answered Yeshua, "but seventy times seven!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 4:24. The sons of Simeon — This genealogy is very different from that given in Genesis 46:10, and Numbers 26:12. This may be occasioned by the same person having several names, one list taking one name, another list some other, and so on: to reconcile is impossible; to attempt it, useless.
