1 | Was Simeon part of N. kingdom? | Josh 19:9 | Pam D | 103056 | ||
Was Simeon part of the northern kingdom? The bible says, at the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, Israel was split into the Northern Kingdom of Israel consisting of 10 of the tribes of Israel (1Kings 11:35) and the Southern kingdom which included Judah and Benjamin (1Kings 12:23) According to Map 4 in my Life Application Bible (it shows the land that God had given to each tribe), Simeon is located in the middle of Judah. Did the tribe of Simeon continue to live in the middle of Judah, but were loyal to Jeroboam and the northern kingdom? Thanks for any help you can give me. Blessings, Pam |

Greetings Pam! The area that is dominated by Judah also includes Simeon (see Joshua 19:1-9). Therefore, that would put Simeon, along with Judah, in the Southern Kingdom. Blessings to you, Makarios |

3 | Was Simeon part of N. kingdom? | Josh 19:9 | Pam D | 103097 | ||
Dear Makarios, Thank you for your response - it led me to the answer! I went to Joshua 19:1-9 (as you noted in your post) and I read the passage and then I read the note my Bible had on it. The Bible note said, "Simeon was given land in the southern section of Judah's territory in fullfillment of Jacobs prophecy (Gen 49:5). Simeon eventually migrated North when its territory was incorporated into Judah's (see note 1Kings 11:13)." 1Kings 11:13 note said, "Simeon, the tribe South of Judah, had apparently migrated north and was counted with the 10 northern tribes (cf 2Chron 15:9). 2Chronicles 15:9 says that when Asa, Rehoboam's grandson, was king of the Southern Kingdom, large numbers from the tribe of Simeon came over to the Southern kingdom FROM ISRAEL when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. This further supports the idea that the tribe of Simeon had migrated north to be part of the Northern Kingdom of Isreal. So the answer is that the tribe of Simeon migrated north to be part of the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Isreal at the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam! By the way, I just looked at your personal profile. Thanks for the great list of web sites to check out for the future! Blessings, Pam |
