Mentioned in the Genealogy of Simeon
Meshobab is listed among the leaders of the tribe of Simeon in a genealogical record in 1 Chronicles.
Meshobab and the other Simeonite leaders went to the entrance of Gedor to seek pasture for their small livestock, and found lush and good grazing lands.
The Simeonite chieftains, including Meshobab, defeated the original Hamitic inhabitants and settled in their place because there was pasture for their small livestock there.
41These men, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there. They destroyed them completely, and so it remains to this day, and they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
In the days of King Hezekiah, some of the Simeonites, possibly including Meshobab, went to Mount Seir and struck down the remaining Amalekites who had survived there.
