Tribe of Simeon
According to the Hebrew Bible, the Tribe of Simeon (; ) was one of the Tribes of Israel.〔Genesis 29:33〕〔Genesis 46:10〕〔Numbers 26:12-14〕〔Joshua 15:21-32〕〔Joshua 19:1-9〕〔Judges 1:3,17〕
Following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite tribes after about 1200 BC,〔Kitchen, Kenneth A. (2003), "On the Reliability of the Old Testament" (Grand Rapids, Michigan. William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company)(ISBN 0-8028-4960-1)〕 Joshua allocated the land among the twelve tribes. At its height, the territory occupied by the Tribe of Simeon was in the southwest of Canaan, bordered on the east and south by the tribe of Judah; the boundaries with the tribe of Judah are vague, and it seems that Simeon may have been an enclave within the west of the territory of the tribe of Judah. () Simeon was one of the less significant tribes in the Kingdom of Judah.
==Origin==
According to the Hebrew Bible, the tribe consisted of descendants of Simeon, the second son of Jacob and of Leah, from whom it took its name; however some Biblical scholars view this as postdiction, an eponymous metaphor providing an aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation.〔''Peake's commentary on the Bible''〕 With Leah as a matriarch, Biblical scholars believe the tribe to have been regarded by the text's authors to have been part of the original Israelite confederation. However, the tribe is not mentioned in the ancient Song of Deborah, and some scholars think that Simeon was not originally regarded as a distinct tribe; according to Israel Finkelstein, the south of Canaan, in which Simeon was situated, was simply an insignificant rural backwater at the time the poem was written.〔Israel Finkelstein, ''the Bible Unearthed''〕
