“4:34-43 The list of men described as leaders of Simeon’s wealthy clans (4:34-38) introduces the description of Simeon’s geographic expansion (4:38-43). The tribe’s expansion involved thirteen family leaders during the days of Hezekiah (late 700s BC) in the area of Gerar. This might have been part of Hezekiah’s military action against Philistine territories (2 Kgs 18:8).”

“Emigrations of Simeonite families into other districts. - Ch1 4:34-41 record an expedition of the Simeonites, in the time of Hezekiah, undertaken for purposes of conquest. In Ch1 4:34-36, thirteen princes of the tribe of Simeon are enumerated who undertook this expedition. The families of some of them are traced through several generations, but in no case are they traced down so far as to show their connection with the families named in Ch1 4:24-26. 1 Chronicles 4:38”
