191 The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of Simeon, according to its families; and its inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. 2 And it had for its inheritance Beer-sheba, Sheba, Mola'dah, 3 Hazar-shu'al, Balah, Ezem, 4 Elto'lad, Bethul, Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Beth-mar'caboth, Ha'zar-su'sah, 6 Beth-leba'oth, and Sharu'hen--thirteen cities with their villages; 7 En-rimmon, Ether, and Ashan--four cities with their villages; 8 together with all the villages round about these cities as far as Ba'alath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to its families.

Commentary on Joshua 19:1-9
(Read Joshua 19:1-9)
The men of Judah did not oppose taking away the cities within their border, when convinced that they had more than was right. If a true believer has obtained an unintended and improper advantage in any thing, he will give it up without murmuring. Love seeketh not her own, and doth not behave unseemly; it will induce those in whom it richly dwells, to part with their own to supply what is lacking to their brethren.
