Contextual Overview

5 These are the people from the tribe of Reuben. (Reuben was the firstborn son of Israel.) The family groups were Hanoch—the Hanochite family group; Pallu—the Palluite family group; 6 Hezron—the Hezronite family group; Carmi—the Carmite family group. 7 The total number of men in these family groups from the tribe of Reuben was 43,730. 8 Pallu's son was Eliab. 9 Eliab had three sons—Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. Remember, Dathan and Abiram were the two leaders who turned against Moses and Aaron. They followed Korah when Korah turned against the Lord . 10 That was the time when the earth opened and swallowed Korah and all of his followers. And 250 men died! That was a warning to all the Israelites. 11 But the other people who were from the family of Korah did not die. 12 These are the family groups from the tribe of Simeon: Nemuel—the Nemuelite family group; Jamin—the Jaminite family group; Jakin—the Jakinite family group; 13 Zerah—the Zerahite family group; Shaul—the Shaulite family group. 14 The total number of men in these family groups from the tribe of Simeon was 22,200.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The immense decrease of this tribe, no less than 37,100, renders it highly probable, that, influenced by the bad example of Zimri, the Simeonites had been peculiarly criminal in the late wickedness, and that multitudes of them had died of the plague. It is remarkable, that Moses, in Deut. 33, bestows no blessing upon this tribe. Numbers 1:22, Numbers 1:23, Numbers 2:12, Numbers 2:13

Reciprocal: Numbers 25:14 - the Simeonites 1 Chronicles 4:27 - like to Revelation 7:7 - Simeon
