What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.] Close by the border of Benjamin, running east and west, Simeon’s part and inheritance in the land shall be; even such true Israelites as “hear”, understand, and believe the Gospel, and practise what they hear. This tribe is not now to be divided and scattered in Israel, or to have its inheritance in Judah, as formerly, (<014905>Genesis 49:5-7 <061901> Joshua 19:1-9), but to be distinct, and have a portion by itself.”

“Benjamin--Compare Jacob's prophecy (Gen 49:27; Deu 33:12). It alone with Judah had been throughout loyal to the house of David, so its prowess at the "night" of the national history was celebrated as well as in the "morning."”
