And they had in their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
The allotment names Beer-sheba, Sheba, and Moladah among the towns given to Simeon as its inherited possession inside the larger inheritance of Judah. That share was small, and for that reason it was carved out from within Judah's territory rather than set apart as a separate district of its own. In later time some families of Simeon went out and established colonies beyond the borders of the Holy Land.
