1 Chronicles 4:28-43 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. Now they lived in Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

29. and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad,

30. and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag,

31. and in Beth-marcaboth, and in Hazarsusim, and in Bethbiri, and in Shaaraim. These were their cities until king David.

32. And their towns were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities,

33. with all their villages, on every side of these cities, as far as Baal. This is their habitation and the distribution of the settlements.

34. And there were Meshobab and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah,

35. and Joel, and Jehu, the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,

36. and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

37. as well as Ziza, the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38. These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.

39. And they set out, so that they might enter into Gedor, as far as the eastern valley, and so that they might seek pastures for their flocks.

40. And they found fat and very good pastures, and a very wide and quiet and fruitful land, in which some from the stock of Ham had lived before.

41. So then, those whose names have been written above, went forth in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And they struck down the inhabitants who had been found there with their dwellings. And they wiped them out, even to the present day. And they lived in place of them, because they found very fat pastures there.

42. Also, some of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went away to mount Seir, having as leaders Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

43. And they struck down the remnant of the Amalekites, those who had been able to escape, and they lived there in place of them, even to this day.
