Talk with Shimon in the appThe story of Shimon
Shimon is a man named in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah in 1 Chronicles. The Chronicler lists his sons as Amnon, Rinnah, Benhanan, and Tilon (1 Chronicles 4:20). The same verse goes on to name the sons of Ishi, Zoheth and Benzoheth, but it does not say how Ishi was related to Shimon.
Scripture records nothing else about Shimon beyond this single mention of his sons, and the verse does not name his father or describe any deeds. He should not be confused with Simeon, the son of Jacob and Leah, whose name is spelled differently in the King James Version.
