Context — The Descendants of Simeon
23These were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the service of the king.
24The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
25The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.
26The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei. 27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.1 Chronicles 4:25 Summary
