Study Notes — 1 Chronicles 4:26
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Descendants of Simeon
24The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
25The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.
26The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
27Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah. 28They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,1 Chronicles 4:26 Summary
This verse lists the sons of Mishma, who was a descendant of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

As we read about these families, we can remember that God is interested in every detail of our lives, just like He was with the Israelites (Psalm 139:1-6, Matthew 10:29-31).
