Significance: The Chronicler's Simeonite genealogy (1 Chr 4:24-31) draws from Genesis 46:10's list of Simeon's sons who entered Egypt with Jacob. Both texts list Nemuel/Jemuel, Jamin, and Jarib/Jachin among Simeon's descendants, with name variants reflecting textual transmission differences. The Chronicler extends the genealogy far beyond Genesis 46's entry-to-Egypt list, tracing Simeon's descendants into the settlement period and noting their territorial expansion "until the reign of David" (1 Chr 4:31), connecting the patriarchal family to the monarchic era.

Significance: Genesis 46:10 lists the sons of Simeon who went down to Egypt: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul. 1 Chronicles 4:24 records the same tribal lineage but with notable name variations: Nemuel (for Jemuel), Jarib (for an otherwise unattested name), and Zerah (for Zohar), while omitting Ohad entirely. These differences likely reflect the use of variant manuscript traditions or alternate spellings that had developed over the intervening centuries. The Chronicler also adds settlement and territorial information (4:28-31), extending the genealogy from a migration list into a record of Simeon's diminished tribal allotment, noting that their cities lasted only "until the reign of David." The contrast between the six sons entering Egypt and the reduced post-settlement tribe reflects Jacob's prophecy that Simeon would be scattered in Israel (Gen 49:7).
