41 Καὶ ἤλθοσαν οὗτοι οἱ γεγραμμένοι ἐπʼ ὀνόματος ἐν ἡμέραις Ἐζεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς Μιναίους οὕς εὕροσαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισαν αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ᾤκησαν ἀντʼ αὐτῶν, ὅτι νομαὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ.
42 Καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Συμεὼν ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ὄρος Σηὶρ ἄνδρες πεντακόσιοι, καὶ Φαλαεττία, καὶ Νωαδία, καὶ Ῥαφαΐα, καὶ Ὀζιὴλ υἱοὶ Ἰεσὶ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν.
43 Καὶ ἐπάταξαν τοὺς καταλοίπους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας τοῦ Ἀμαλὴκ ἕως ἡμέρας ταύτης.

39 And they went till they came to Gerara, to the east of Gai, to seek pasture for their cattle.
40 And they found abundant and good pastures, and the land before them was wide, and there was peace and quietness; for there were some of the children of Cham who dwelt there before.
41 And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they smote the people's houses, and the Minæans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture there for their cattle.
42 And some of them, even of the sons of Symeon, went to mount Seir, even five hundred men; and Phalaettia, and Noadia, and Raphaia, and Oziel, sons of Jesi, were their rulers.
43 And they smote the remnant that were left of Amalec, until this day.
