Contextual Overview

24Sons of Simeon: Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;25Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son. 26And sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son. 27And to Shimei [are] sixteen sons and six daughters, and to his brothers there are not many sons, and none of their families have multiplied as much as the sons of Judah. 28And they dwell in Beer-Sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-Shaul, 29and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad, 30and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag, 31and in Beth-Marcaboth, and in Hazar-Susim, and in Beth-Birei, and in Shaarim; these [are] their cities until the reigning of David. 32And their villages [are] Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan—five cities, 33and all their villages that [are] around these cities to Ba‘al; these [are] their dwellings, and they have their 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

Genesis 4:15
And YHWH says to him, "Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold"; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him.
Matthew 18:22
Jesus says to him, "I do not say to you until seven times, but until 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.
