Simeon was one of the less significant tribes in the Kingdom of Judah. Attempts to reconstruct the territory of Simeon work with three biblical lists: Book of Joshua 19:2-9, 1 Chronicles 4:28-32, which list towns belonging to Simeon, and Joshua 15:20-30, which lists these same towns as part of the territory of Judah.

The city of Dan (not to be confused with the Tribe of Dan) is in the northern part of Naphtali's territory. Beersheba is in Simeon's territory. From Dan to Beersheba is a biblical phrase used nine times [1] in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the settled areas of the Tribes of Israel between Dan in the North and Beersheba in the South.
However, Biblical scholars believe this to actually be a description of the tribe of Naphtali. Naphtali is listed in Deuteronomy 34.2 when God takes Moses up to the mountain of Nebo and shows him the extent of the land which he had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
