Bible Question (short): Was Simeon part of N. kingdom? |
Question (full): 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 |
