Jozibiah was a leader from the tribe of Simeon, mentioned in 1 Chronicles as part of a genealogy of Simeonite leaders. He belonged to a clan that grew and sought new grazing lands during the time of King Hezekiah. His descendants were among those who drove out the Hamites and Amalekites to find pasture for their flocks.
Jozibiah's descendants and other Simeonite families went to the entrance of Gedor to seek pasture for their small livestock and found lush and good grazing lands.
In the days of King Hezekiah, the Simeonites, including the descendants of Joshibiah, came and struck down the Hamites who lived there, completely destroying them, and settled in their place.
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.
