God granted him that which he requested.

Their fathers’ houses increased greatly.
39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceful, for those who lived there before were descended from Ham. 41 These written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and struck their tents and the Meunim who were found there; and they destroyed them utterly to this day, and lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. 42 Some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to Mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 43 They struck the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have lived there to this day.

39 A protož brali se, kudyž se vchází k Gedor, až k východu po údolí tom, aby hledali pastev dobytku svému.
40 I nalezli pastvu hojnou a výbornou, zemi pak prostrannou, bezpečnou a pokojnou, a že z Chama byli ti, kteříž bydlili tam před tím.
41 Protož přišedše ti napsaní ze jména ve dnech Ezechiáše krále Judského, pobořili stany jejich a příbytky, kteříž tam nalezeni byli, a zmordovali je, tak že jich do tohoto dne není, a sami osedli místo nich; nebo měli tu pastvu dobytku svému.
42 Někteří pak z těch synů Simeonových odebrali se na horu Seir, mužů pět set, jichž Pelatia, Neariáš, Refaiáš a Uziel, synové Jesi, byli vůdcové.
