Simeon fikk sønnene Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Serah og Saul. Saul fikk Sjallum, som igjen fikk sønnen Mibsam. Mibsam fikk Misjma. Misjmas sønner var Hammuel, Sakkur og Sjimi. Sjimi hadde 16 sønner og seks døtre. Men brødrene hans fikk ikke så mange barn, så slekten deres vokste ikke så mye som Judas slekt.
