☩The Simeonite Migration
Jesimiel was one of the chief Simeonites who participated in a migration to the valley of Gedor in search of pasture for their flocks, around 711 B.C. (1 Chronicles 4:36, 38-41). His name means 'God establishes' or 'appointed of God.' The Simeonite expedition found rich, good pasture there, and the land was broad and quiet and peaceable. They destroyed the Hamites who had been living there and settled in their place.
