Joshua 19:1-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. The second part of the land was given to the tribe of Simeon. Each family group received some of the land. It was inside the area of Judah.

2. They received Beersheba (also called Sheba), Moladah,

3. Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem,

4. Eltolad, Bethul and Hormah.

5. They also received Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah,

6. Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen. There were 13 towns and all their fields.

7. They also received the towns of Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan. There were 4 towns and all their fields.

8. They also received all the very small areas with people living in them as far as Baalath Beer. (This is the same as Ramah in southern Canaan.) So these were the lands given to the tribe of Simeon. Each family group received some of the land.

9. The land of the Simeonites was taken from part of the land of Judah. Judah had much more land than they needed. So the Simeonites received part of their land.

10. The third part of the land was given to the tribe of Zebulun. Each family group of Zebulun received some of the land. The border of Zebulun went as far as Sarid.

11. Then it went west to Maralah and came near Dabbesheth. Then it went near Jokneam.
