these mentioned by name were princes in their families; and their fathers' houses increased greatly.

39 ف َذَهَبُوا إلَى المِنْطَقَةِ المُجاوِرَةِ لِمَدِينَةِ جَدُورَ إلَى الشَّرْقِ مِنَ الوادِي سَعْياً إلَى مَراعٍ لِمَواشِيهِمْ.

And they went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

40 ف َوَجَدُوا مَرعَى خَصْباً، وَكانَتِ الأرْضُ فَسِيحَةً وَهادِئَةً وَمُسالِمَةً، لِأنَّ الَّذِينَ سَكَنُوا هُناكَ مِنْ قَبلُ كانُوا مِنْ نَسلِ حامِ.

And they found fat and good pasture, and a land widely extended and quiet and fertile, for they who had dwelt there formerly were of Ham.

41 أ مّا الَّذِينَ ذُكِرَتْ أسْماؤهُمْ فَجاءُوا فِي عَهْدِ حَزَقِيّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذا. وَدَمَّرُوا خِيامَ الحامِيِّينَ وَالمَعُونِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ هُناكَ، وَأبادُوهُمْ كَما هُوَ وَاضِحٌ إلَى يَوْمِنا هَذا. وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مَكانِهِمْ، لِأنَّهُ كانَتْ هُناكَ مَراعٍ لِمَواشِيهِمْ.

And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their stead; for there was pasture there for their flocks.

42 و َذَهَبَ بَعْضُ الشِّمْعُونِيِّينَ إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ سَعِيرَ الجَبَلِيَّةِ، وَكانَ عَدَدُهُمْ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ تَحتَ قِيادَةِ فَلَطْيا وَنَعَرْيا وَرَفايا وَعُزِّيئِيلَ، أبْناءِ شَمْعَى.

And five hundred men of them, of the sons of Simeon, went to mount Seir, having at their head Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Jishi,

43 ف َقَضَى هَؤُلاءِ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ بَنِي عَمالِيقَ الَّذِينَ نَجَوْا. وَسَكَنَ الشِّمْعُونِيُّونَ هُناكَ إلَى يَوْمِنا هَذا.

and they smote the rest of the Amalekites that had escaped; and they dwelt there unto this day.
