Sons of Simeon – no notable names stand out to me – however, each generation after Simeon is important.

  Perhaps you are not among the leaders of your country – you are still important.
  One man, in Simeon’s lineage, had six sons and six daughters – that same man had a brother and only had a few sons. 1 Chronicles 4:27

  The cities the tribe of Simeon lived in are given until the reign of David.
  Some of those cities were important to the history of Israel; such as, Beersheba and Ziklag.

  Leaders within the families of the tribe of Simeon are named. 
1 Chronicles 4:34-38
  Those named increased in numbers and had to find pasture lands for their flocks.  They found a “rich and good pasture, the land was broad and peaceful.”  1 Chronicles 4:40

  Have you needed to move because of your job?  Don’t you look for a safe place to live?  1 Chronicles 4:41-42
  Those same peace-loving people were attacked and their enemy took the pastures for themselves.  They in turn “destroyed” other enemies and lived there.  1 Chronicles 4:43
