This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the middle of their inheritance.

2 Samuel 13 22-2 Samuel 13 28
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.Absalom came to the king, and said,“ See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”The king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Absalom commanded his servants, saying,“ Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you,‘ Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”

Their lot was twelve cities.All the cities of the Levites among the possessions of the children of Israel were forty- eight cities with their pasture lands.Each of these cities included their pasture lands around them. It was this way with all these cities.So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
