Joshua 19:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages, 8 and all the villages that were around these towns up to Baalat-Beor, Ramath of the Negev.[a] This was the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants[b] of Simeon according to their families. 9 Part of the portion allotted to the descendants[c] of Judah became the inheritance of the descendants[d] of Simeon because the portion for the descendants[e] of Judah was too large for them,[f] so the descendants[g] of Simeon inherited from their inheritance.

New International Version
7 Ain, Rimmon,(A) Ether and Ashan(B)—four towns and their villages— 8 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev).(C)
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans. 9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah,(D) because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.(E)
